Will They Ever Trust Us Again?: Letters from the War Zone

Summary

American soldiers serve willingly. They risk their lives sothe rest of us can be safe. The one small thing they ask is that they not besent into harm’s way unless it is absolutely necessary. But after being lied toabout weapons of mass destruction and about the connection between al Qaeda andIraq; after being forced by stop-loss orders to extend their deployment; afterbeing undertrained, underequipped, and overworked long after George Bushdeclared “Mission Accomplished,” these soldiers have something tosay.

From his famous 2003 Oscar acceptance speech to hisrecord-breaking documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, Michael Moore has been anoutspoken critic of the Bush administration and the war in Iraq. But in thisaudiobook, Moore gives the spotlight to the real heroes of protest: the men andwomen who have fought in Iraq and want the American public to know how theyfeel about their mission and their Commander in Chief. Moore also fieldsletters from veterans of other wars and mothers, wives, and siblings of oursoldiers in the field who also express their anger and frustration, their tearsand pain, and their hopes and prayers.

Impassioned, accessible, and moving, these are letters thatreveal the true hearts and minds of the men, women, and families on the frontline.
