Every book Seth Harp recommended on podcasts
Seth Harp appeared on Breaking Points to discuss his investigative work and findings regarding the United States military. Throughout the interview, Harp discussed themes from his book The Fort Bragg Cartel, explaining how the work connects high mortality rates and criminality within special forces and the airborne corps to the past twenty years of military conflict. He discussed how his book examines the origins of heroin supplied during the occupation of Afghanistan, an angle of the war he noted has not been thoroughly explored. Harp also addressed specific details covered in his book, including a story about a military working dog and his defense of interviews conducted with Delta Force operators, noting that several are named in the text while others spoke off the record. He discussed a chapter detailing the evolution of Delta Force into a unit utilized in night missions during the Iraq war surge, reaffirmed the rigorous research behind his portrayal of the unit, and outlined two chapters dedicated to investigating the mysterious murder case of Enrique Roman Martinez, while clarifying that his project was never intended to be a book about policy.
