Footsoldier for Peace and Justice

Once we die all that remains are the remembrances of what we've done while we were here...<p>It is because of this belief that John Gilman felt compelled to put into his own words his life story - and quite a story it is. This book offers accounts of a man who in high school led a successful student strike in support of a badly needed new school building; who received the Distinguished Service Cross the Silver Star the Bronze Star the Purple Heart and Cluster and a special citation from President Roosevelt for his defense of freedom during World War II; who proudly proclaimed his progressive beliefs in the face of constant harassment; who dared the House Un-American Activities Committee in the 1950's to question his patriotism; and who has spent a lifetime defending those who have been unjustly persecuted.<p>Foot Soldier for Peace and Justice is a bluntly told story of one man's efforts to make a difference in the world.
