Wow. Terrific questions Farhad! And thank you, James!
As a history major I am grateful when a strong writer takes the complex facts (Reagan anti-bomb? who knew?!) and shows me how they fit into clear patterns.
Why no letters yet? Was this just posted, or are people just too gobsmacked by it? Where's that Annie Lennox column about gathering in parks on Bastille Day to say (peacefully) "not in my name"?
Seriously, once "we" read this book and mourn, "we" have our work cut out. In my (limited) experience, peace-making is even HARDER than war-making. So my question to the other letter writers is, should we let this pattern, so clearly shown, inform our actions? And if so, how?
