Displaced Films proudly announces the addition of two new books to our storefront, Jane Fonda's War by Mary Hershberger, and Camilo Mejia's stunning memoir, Road from AR Ramadi: The Private Rebellion of Staff Sergeant Camilo Mejia.
***************************
Jane Fonda's War tells the startling story of the U.S. government's campaign against Ms. Fonda. In the late 1970's, she was able to obtain her unexpurgated FBI files through a law suit, which reveal an effort by the government to not only undercut her political influence, but to literally destroy her career and life. Mary Hershberger describes in riveting detail how the FBI and other government agencies worked closely with right wing forces in the media and military to create the myth of "Hanoi Jane" as a weapon against the antiwar movement. This book is fascinating, urgent and timely.
Road from AR Ramadi is Camilo Mejia's account of his journey from good soldier to conscientious objector to prisoner of the U.S. military. Mejia was the first Iraq War objector prosecuted by the military, but far from the last. He describes his experiences as part of the American occupation forces in Iraq, including his unit's stint guarding prisoners-where he saw that the abuses exposed at Abu Ghraib prison were standard procedure. This isn't a political tract, but an intimate tale of one man's road to his conscience.
Each book is only $17.95 at our official Sir! No Sir! Website
