Omschrijving

For generations, America has thanked its

veterans for their service but then forgotten promises made to
them.

That's why some former soldiers have
always ended up on the barricades or picket lines, demanding justice for
themselves or fellow workers back home. From Revolutionary War volunteers who
later joined Shays's Rebellion to World War I soldiers who staged a
multiracial march on Washington to Vietnam War-era GIs who helped end
the war they served in, such rank-and-file voices are hard to ignore.

In this timely collection of essays, reviews, and
firsthand reporting, Steve Early and Suzanne Gordon trace that dissident legacy
to the present day. They chronicle the critical role that disillusioned
post-9/11 veterans now play in challenging MAGA Republicans and corporate
Democrats over privatized healthcare, big money in politics, and ballooning
Pentagon budgets. Inside these pages are stories of courage and complicity:
veterans fighting to defend public healthcare from corporate takeover; resisting
anti-union attacks; and opposing the use of federal troops for domestic
policing and mass deportations. Their struggle is part of a broader fight for
rights, dignity, and a better life for all poor and working-class
Americans.

Courage or Complicity? is a
searing indictment of political betrayal and a big salute to vets organizing
against it. This book reveals the frontline battles shaping the future of
American democracy.
