Friend,

You’re invited to participate in today’s launch of the new book by RootsAction co-founder Norman Solomon, War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of Its Military Machine.

We hope you’ll read and share the excerpts from the book that have been released in recent days. Truthdig published a section about the true costs of ongoing U.S. warfare. And The Nation published an excerpt titled “The Convenient Myth of ‘Humane’ War.”

War Made Invisible is Norman first book in 15 years. The main goal is to encourage discussion -- and strong nonviolent activism -- to end what Martin Luther King Jr. called “the madness of militarism.”

While some people are buying the book on Amazon, it’s also available now at a discount from the Bookshop,org site that supports independent bookstores nationwide.

Below is a sampling of advance praise for War Made Invisible -- from Daniel Ellsberg, Amy Goodman, Janine Jackson, Naomi Klein, Ron Kovic, and Kirkus Reviews. You can read more about the book here.

Thank you,

The RootsAction.org Team

War Made Invisible will provide the fresh and profound clarity that our country desperately needs.”
— Daniel Ellsberg

“Cutting through this manufactured ‘fog of war,’ Norman Solomon eloquently casts sunlight, the best disinfectant, on the propaganda that fuels perpetual war. War Made Invisible is essential reading in these increasingly perilous times.”
— Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!

“Solomon exposes how media lies, distortions, and misdirections represent the abandonment of journalism’s promise to connect human beings to one another.”
— Janine Jackson, program director, Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting

With an immense and rare humanity, Solomon insists that we awaken from the slumber of denial and distraction and confront the carnage of the U.S.’s never-ending military onslaughts. A staggeringly important intervention.”
— Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine

“In these difficult times when truth and justice seem to have lost their way, a very special and daring book appears out of the darkness of this seemingly endless night, giving us all as a nation and people a reason to hope.”
— Ron Kovic, Vietnam veteran and author of Born on the Fourth of July

“A powerful, necessary indictment of efforts to disguise the human toll of American foreign policy.”
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
