Good morning,

Any day now, a new book will be released, one that is groundbreaking and that we have been waiting for even though we did not know it. The book is Martyrs to the Unspeakable: The Assassinations of JFK, Malcolm, Martin, and RFK, written by James Douglass and published by Orbis Books.

Martyrs to the Unspeakable lays bare truths that have been before our eyes for decades, as the system responsible for these assassinations has continued to churn out the Unspeakable. We are closer than ever to "Midnight," and we need to wipe the fog from the lens through which we have witnessed the last eighty years of nuclear terror. 

Many of you know James Douglass - theologian, activist, nonviolent nuclear resister, Catholic Worker, writer, and so much more. Ultimately, I have come to understand him as a modern-day prophet.

I have written a review - actually more of an invitation -  to Martyrs to the Unspeakable that I published this morning. You can read it at my Substack. I've also attached a PDF of my review. 

Eighty years into what Douglass calls "The Century of Fear," a time in which JFK's "nuclear sword of Damocles" continues to hang by a single thread, it is high time for change - in how 

we see our dilemma AND ultimately how we move forward, both individually and collectively toward a world free of the threat of nuclear omnicide.

I hope to see Martyrs to the Unspeakable in every bookstore and public library; we can help make that happen.

With Thanks and In Peace,

Leonard
