About this audiobook
(A special "live" presentation with some listener call-ins.) One of the country's most intrepid, informed and articulate anti-war activists returns for an update on his travels and recent developments in the militarization of the planet. Ellsberg's words can be chilling yet empowering, sobering yet heartening - and always thought-provoking. Required listening for anyone interested in moving beyond Cold-War myths.
