Richard Falk's reaction to the
American Hiroshima book.
"David Dionisi
has written an inspiring wakeup call to America. Finally, we have a book that
understands that the security of this country depends more on revitalizing our
democracy than it does on the intrusive maneuverings of Homeland Security or the
construction of an even mightier mega-military machine. It deserves to be widely
read, and even more widely acted upon."
