On October 15, Michelle Kholos Brooks, non-resident senior fellow at Forward Defense, was interviewed alongside Sarah Norris by the Library of Congress about the creation of the play War Words. Kholos Brooks, a playwright, spoke about how she approached writing a play focused on veteran’s stories and what she learned about experiences in the military. She reflects on the importance of bridging the gap between national security, the military, and the public through art.

Forward Defense, housed within the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security, generates ideas and connects stakeholders in the defense ecosystem to promote an enduring military advantage for the United States, its allies, and partners. Our work identifies the defense strategies, capabilities, and resources the United States needs to deter and, if necessary, prevail in future conflict.
