New Michael Moore book released Tuesday!


Personal letters to Michael Moore from soldiers, veterans and their families—published for the first time—sharing their thoughts and feelings about the war in Iraq, with an Introduction by Moore.
Fahrenheit 9/11, the #1 documentary of all time, generated lots of attention and debate—and lots of mail. Michael Moore received scores of letters from active-duty GIs stationed in Iraq as well as family members of those soldiers and military veterans, all wanting to share a side of a story that hasn’t been told elsewhere. With the publication of Will They Ever Trust Us Again?, they will finally be heard.

Will They Ever Trust Us Again? goes beyond politics and gets to the heart of what the fighting in Iraq and the War on Terror are really about, from the people affected firsthand. The title is taken from a line in Fahrenheit 9/11, which asks the question: Can our men and women in uniform ever trust our country’s leaders again, trust that they will be sent into war only when absolutely necessary? To many in the military, and those who wrote letters to Michael Moore, that answer is no.

A provocative collection for anyone who truly supports our troops, Moore’s latest book will certainly be the most talked-about publication of the year.

1. He said a few weeks ago
profits will go to veterans' groups and to provide legal aid to soldiers who refuse to return to Iraq.

2. I should have a copy waiting for me at Border's
I placed the order last month. I plan to be there bright and early to pick up my copy.

I love MM. Terrific guy. I've also ordered several copies of F911. I really can't wait for those!

3. I'm looking forward to it.
Although it may be hard to read, it will be important that we do. I was talking to friends from a military family that was "anti-Kerry" six months ago; today, they are big Kerry supporters because of the experience of the younger generation's experience in Iraq. The letters from these young people is as important as any other campaign message.
