DISSENT: Voices of Conscience

On the eve of the Iraq War, Army Colonel (Ret). Ann Wright resigned from the State Department, telling then-Secretary of State Colin Powell that without UN authorization the invasion and occupation would be a disaster. She was one of dozens of government insiders and active-duty military personnel who spoke out, leaked documents, resigned, or refused to deploy in protest of government actions they felt were illegal. In Dissent: Voice of Conscience, Ann Wright and Susan Dixon tell the stories of these men and women. Named February 2008 “Book of the Month” by the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression.

   

Veterans of War, Veterans of Peace

“There is a rhythm and tempo in her prose which recalls the great epic writers of Greece. She has a gift of candor and directness and epic simplicity. Cindy … is a born writer.” —Dario Fo, Winner of Nobel Prize for Literature.
