Dee Charles Knight

4.9/5 (31243 ratings)

Description:Our recent storms didn't start in 2020 or 2016. They started decades ago in the 1960s - a whirlwind of threatened nuclear catastrophe, then police dogs and rednecks terrorizing civil rights marchers down south, then Vietnamese children fleeing from napalm flames. Then draft notices to go to Vietnam to "fight commies."A small town boy started by supporting rightist Goldwater against the "peace candidate" Johnson, but rapidly changed in the face of the civil rights and anti-war movements, and started a quest that hasn't ended yet.This book tells Dee Knight's story of "waking up" to the truth about the US war in Vietnam, then refusing the draft and going to Canada where he lived for six years. It relates the years-long campaign for amnesty, in which Knight was a leader. After war resisters won a partial amnesty, Knight continued campaigning against US wars up to the present day.There are chapters on:* The political storms of 1968* Exile life in Canada* The years-long campaign for universal unconditional amnesty* Antiwar veterans and active duty GIs, including the sanctuary movement* Witnessing Portugal's "Carnation Revolution" of 1975* Living and working in Sandinista Nicaragua* Socialism and the Green New Deal* "Messages from the Future"* Reflections on the Pandemic* The Battle to Expand and Protect Democracy* Appendices on Vietnam's victory in 1975, and on the reality of life and politics in ChinaWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
