'Bipolar Disorder' and 'Military Loyalty'

from The Kathryn Zox Show · host Kathryn Zox

Kathryn interviews James Beard Award Winner David Leite, author of "Notes on a Banana: A Memoir of Food, Love, and Manic Depression". This book is a tender look at growing up, a candid take on the power of self-acceptance, and an unflinching tale of the hell of mental illness. Leite is a regular correspondent and guest host on NPR's The Splendid Table and is featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post and Bon Appetit Magazine. Kathryn also interviews Captain Roger Hill, author of "Dog Company: A True Story of American Soliders Abandoned by Their High Command". In Wardak, the most violent province in east-central Afghanistan in 2007, Army Captain Roger Hill was faced with a dire situation. With no help coming from the high command, Hill took matters into his own hands and interrogated spies to get to the truth. For this, Hill ended up being prosecuted by the U.S. Army and given a less-than-honorable discharge in 2009. Hill tells his side of the story for the first time.
