Dear John,
I hope you can be among the 18 people to join me for a 4-week online book club. We'll be discussing my book Leaving World War II Behind. I'll send you a copy of the book.
Everything you need to know and the place to reserve your spot is here.
I greatly enjoyed the similar book club I did last year with War Is A Lie, and the feedback from participants in that one was very positive.
Here's what the book is about, how the online Zoom discussions work, what it costs, how you get your electronic and/or signed print copy, etc.
Here's what a few people think of the book:
“This is a book of wide synthesis and
trenchant commentary. Keep it near to hand for those all-too-frequent
moments when you hear someone using World War II to justify yet another
horrific military adventure.” —Nicholson Baker, author, Human Smoke: The Beginnings of World War II, The End of Civilization
“Swanson demolishes the myths by amassing
a huge number of facts, all carefully documented, and leaves us the
true, if unpalatable but liberating, history of WWII.” —Kent D.
Shifferd, author, From War To Peace: A Guide To The Next Hundred Years
“If you, like me, thought that WWII was
the exceptional ‘good war,’ think again. David Swanson brilliantly cuts
through the myths surrounding WWII, and in the process cuts through the
fog of all wars.” —Medea Benjamin, cofounder, CODEPINK for Peace
“David Swanson passionately debunks many
of the common arguments used to justify the horrific violence of WWII.”
—Scott J. Shapiro, Professor, Yale Law School, coauthor, The Internationalists: How a Radical Plan to Outlaw War Remade the World
“This is a brave, passionate, brilliant
book, which should be read by anyone who gives a damn about humanity’s
future.” —John Horgan, science journalist and author, The End of War
“David Swanson shatters all the
self-congratulatory distortions that justified U.S. participation in the
‘good war’ of WWII.” —Ajamu Baraka, contributing columnist for the
Black Agenda Report
“Leaving World War II Behind is a must read for everyone who works for peace.” —Margaret Kimberley, author, Prejudential: Black America and the Presidents
“In this book, revealing the hidden
history of even our so-called ‘just war,’ Swanson will hopefully shock
and awaken enough of us to reject war for all time.” —Thom Hartmann,
author and radio host
