48:56Now PlayingAs an English professor at West Point, Samet, author of Soldier’s Heart and winner of the Hiett Prize in the Humanities, negotiates war and peace as concrete realities, not academic abstractions. Looking back over the last decade, however, she finds an unsettling ambiguity in the American experience, which she likens to the “no man’s land” of neither peace nor war. Her struggle to define the post-9/11 era includes visiting wounded veterans and contacting former cadets.
