Markin comment:
This material is required reading, especially for younger leftist militants unfamiliar with the hard road, but necessary, work of organizing soldiers. That road is, after all, the short way home out of the quagmire of Afghanistan. Kudos.
This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager
