RAVEN 23 from Contact to Pardon

RAVEN 23 Author Gina Keating
An interview with four decorated U.S. veterans Dustin Heard, Paul Slough, Evan Liberty and Nick Slatten, and the author of the acclaimed book Raven 23. The men of RAVEN 23 answered the call after 9/11, only to be betrayed by the very government they served. What began as a mission in Baghdad ended in a political firestorm in Washington DC seven years after the fact... They became scapegoats, for failed foreign policy and corrupt politicians and a judge with an unethical agenda, branded as murderers, and sentenced to 30 years+ in prison for honorably serving their country.

From prison cells, they held fast to loyalty, faith, and brotherhood. They set records for how many plea deals they turned down. Their wives and families carried the fight on the outside, against impossible odds, until a Presidential pardon finally set them all free.
this is about the blurry line between law and justice, and the human cost when powerful forces choose politics over truth.
Brotherhood: At its heart, Raven 23 is about the men and their families, who never left each other’s side, even when the world turned against them.

It’s not just a story about the infamous men of Blackwater... It’s the living, breathing consequences suffered by men who dedicated their lives to the Global War on terror!
