Title: Witness for Peace: A Story of Resistance
Author: Ed Griffin-Nolan
Narrator: Joseph B. Campo
Format: Unabridged
Length: 11 hrs and 48 mins
Language: English
Release date: 02-24-16
Publisher: Ed Griffin-Nolan

Publisher's Summary:
In this graphic, thought-provoking book, Ed Griffin-Nolan depicts the experiences of Witness for Peace (WFP), a group of Americans who bore witness to the war in Nicaragua - an event that resulted in the killing and wounding of many innocent Central American civilians. Griffin-Nolan explains how WFP participants spent weeks in the war zones in order to understand the impact of US policy on simple people living, as one member of the group phrased it, "at the end of a gun barrel." He describes how WFP participants labored to bring stories of war back to the United States, and how many of them lost their jobs and even their marriages in the process. He concludes by showing that the efforts of WFP saved lives and possibly prevented another Vietnam from developing in Central America.

witness for peace, a pacifist's manual...
I haven't finished the book yet, ... but I really liked the courageous stories that it told. It breaks my heart what happened, .. but I'm proud to read of how so many tried to stop it. I feel bad that so many people bought the Reagan administration's myth that communism is so horrid, it's worth it to try and anihilate people who live in its path. How dumb can people be to buy that garbage?
I wish WITNESS FOR PEACE were required reading in all high schools and junior highs... Maybe we wouldn't have had the fiasco that was George W. Bush, if we'd learned our lessons from Nicaragua, .. or if Iraq had been closer and the witnesses had gone there too. People really need to wake up and see war for what it is: a chicken hawk's way to make you or your kid die for their financial gain. Sick, but that's what the bottom line is. Nobody can die for their own freedom, it's physically impossible. And people who say FREEDOM isn't FREE, drive me the most nuts. Freedom HAS THE WORD FREE IN IT!@ Of course freedom is FREEEEEEE! It's OIL that's not free, it's Gasoline that's not free, !!!, ... it's politicians like W Bush who aren't free. Did he do one thing for California in his 8 years in office? Probably not... we didn't give him any money, why would want to help us or listen to us, .. or god forbid, learn from us? Oh no, .. he's rather see the world heat up,m ... etc etc etc etc I'm rambling, sorry, .. mg.
