We deeply admire this book, in part because it is in the same spirit as the weekly reader-nominated BuzzFlash Wings of Justice Awards.

"Dissent: Voices of Conscience" introduces and honors government insiders who have spoken out against the war and usually paid a price for it. In a climate of fear and mendacity, these people took courageous, patriotic steps on behalf of their nation.

In an age when Republicans wear tin flag lapel pins as they betray America, the true stories of patriots can be found in this book. These people deserve our thanks and our recognition, which "Voices of Conscience" begins to rectify.

From the Foreword by Daniel Ellsberg:

This ... illuminating and remarkably impressive ... book should be leaked into the government. ... This book could awaken ... officials to withdraw their complicity and ... tell the truth to [the public]. This country will not escape further human, legal, and moral catastrophes, or preserve itself as a democratic, constitutional republic, if that does not happen. If you're at all like me, you will have a whole set of new heroes when you finish reading this. ...Dissent: Voices of Conscience could change your life.
