(314) 725-6005 A new publication by the SOAW (School of the Americas Watch) is just off the presses.

"From Warriors To Resisters" is the often painful, always illuminating stories of eleven veterans (Laura Slattery, Jeff Moebus, Bill McNulty, Jack Gilroy, Peter Demott, Wayne Wittman, Ellen Barfield, Charles Litkey, Roy Bourgeois, and Bill and Lillian Corrigan) who awoke to the reality of US foreign policy, changed their thinking and their lives and became dedicated and effective resisters of war and its terrors.

You will read your own story in theirs, gain further validation for your actions on behalf of Peace and Justice. This is a must read for all Veterans For Peace members and a wonderful tool for influencing prospective members.

Smedley Butler, a two-time Medal of Honor winner, Marine Corps General and self-confessed "thug for the United Fruit Company", is quoted in the center section: He warned us all when he said, in a 1933 speech, that, "War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses."
The book is selling for $6.00 and is obtainable from SOAW, Washington, DC (202) 234-3440.

This book is available from the National VFP office. They can be ordered from the VFP Products Page and will have them at the convention.

He looks like a retired Gestapo chief confronting Mike Wallace on an Argentine horse farm. "Christian" huh? Why don't we hear more about the religious left? The media cheer when Quakers, Mennonites, and renegade Catholics are arrested at pro-dictator/terrorist guerrila theater events, then scream bloody murder about the evils of the religious right when a few fundies try to dissuade abortion clients.
