Citizens Dissent: Security, Morality, and Leadership in an Age of Terror (New Patriotism Series, Vol. 3)

Rating:
Summary: Wendell Berry Hits a Home Run!
Review: This is the book that includes Berry's famous New York Times statement, "A Citizen's Response to the National Security Strategy of the United States of America," that has quickly become one of the most important pieces of expository writing in American civil discourse. The Orion Society, which printed the statement in the NYT and has also published Berry's powerful In The Presence of Fear in book form, is to be congratulated for making this essay available so quickly in book form. The companion essay by David James Duncan is extraordinary in its own right. Uncompromising, passionate, and altogether wise!
