The Fine Art of Camouflage w/ Lauren Kay Johnson

In her memoir, The Fine Art of Camouflage, Lauren Kay Johnson tells a coming-of-age narrative against a backdrop of war wherein both her mother’s and her own service are explored. Lauren focuses on in-depth questions of war, the military, the role of information in war and in interpersonal relationships and her own family history in the memoir, as well as throughout her appearance on Next Steps Forward. Ultimately, she wrestles with the truth in the stories we read and hear from the media and official sources along with the stories we tell ourselves. The hour provides thoughtful reflection on women at war, the attributes of those who answer the call of service and the ethical and emotional challenges they face during their time in service
