 Dear RootsAction supporter,
Groups
often ask for money and offer some kind of premium gift if you
donate. Today, instead, RootsAction is going to start by
offering you a gift.
It’s a free e-book, published this
week -- an updated edition of “Made Love, Got War: Close
Encounters with America’s Warfare State.”

Some people
I greatly admire have said nice things about this book. For
instance, CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin called it “a
kaleidoscope of personal adventures and political insights …
an enthralling journey from the Cold War to the war on
terror … a fascinating read!”
I wrote the book a
few years before co-founding RootsAction. Now, the Author’s
Note at the start of the e-book says: “This new edition of
Made Love, Got War (first published in 2007) includes
an Afterword that extends through 2021. Whether or not you get
that far, I hope you’ll read Daniel Ellsberg’s powerful
Foreword, which is now even more urgent. To understand
the present, we need to know what got us here. While
realism is vital, fatalism is no way to live. In these times
of routine militarism, climate emergency, flagrant racism,
systemic injustice, pandemic trauma, and the escalating
right-wing assaults on democracy, we need active solidarity
-- and relentless ‘optimism of the will’ -- more than
ever.”

E-BOOK
If you like this book, I
hope you’ll put
a few dollars in the RootsAction hat. Books can be
valuable, but they won’t get us very far without widespread
and determined progressive activism.
RootsAction
mobilizes grassroots power to organize for imperative change.
Your actions and donations make it possible for us to keep
going and growing.
Thank you --
Norman
