In her new book, One Woman’s Army: The Commanding General of Abu Ghraib Tells her Story, General Janis Karpinski tells her side of the horrifying events that took place at that infamous Iraqi prison. Karpinski will discuss her career in the army and her deployment in the first Gulf War, where she won a Bronze Star. When she was assigned to oversee the MPs at Abu Ghraib, Karpinkski found herself resented as a reservist and as a woman. She maintains that she was a scapegoat and that the torture that took place there was the responsibility of higher-ups, though mostly lower-level servicemen and women were punished.
