Ross Reynolds speaks with George Packer, reporter for The New Yorker perhaps best known for his 2005 book on the Iraq war, "The Assassins Gate." Packer talks about why the Iraqi army crumpled before ISIS and the dangers facing Iraqis who have aided the U.S. Despite their perilous situation, the U.S. government has been slow in issuing visas allowing them to come to the U.S.
He also talks about his newest book, "The Unwinding: An Inner History of the United States." It tells the story of growing inequality in America by looking at the lives of some famous people like Oprah Winfrey and people you’ve never heard of, including a lobbyist, a community activist and a bio-fuel entrepreneur.
