Description
First published in 2008. The strands of this book form a unique weave of personal narrative and historical inquiry.

Reviews / Votes
"Norman's eyewitness descriptions of key events are a perfect backdrop to his critique of our country's increasingly militaristic development of the science of death and of the media's failure to question. We should all heed his call to activism, or our children's future could be in doubt."- Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey
"Here is a book with a thousand memories for those of us who came of political age while living through urban riots, the Vietnam War, and the Nixon years. Norman Solomon, one of America's most respected progressive voices, gets personal in this account of living through the age of Vietnam, Nixon, tie-dye T-shirts, girlfriends, and even the music that will forever waft through the minds of those of us who were there. Those of us who, like journalist Solomon, will never forget."
- Phil Donahue
