Charlotte Dennett, in this book, is trying to awaken the conscience of the nation. She wants us to recognize not just that our government at the highest level -- the president and the people around him -- have committed war crimes, but that they should be prosecuted as we prosecute ordinary criminals. She has been carrying this campaign forward with extraordinary persistence and courage, organizing people in her state of Vermont, demonstrating that grass roots action can be powerful. Her book is a clarion call for the people to confront the crimes of government, for democracy to come alive. -- Howard Zinn, best-selling author of A People's History of the United States
