"Filled with powerful ideas and reflections, units and lessons that probe deeply into the official and ominous silence all around us. In these perilous times, Whose Wars? is essential reading for teachers seeking the truth and some higher ground."

-- William Ayers, Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago and author of Teaching Toward Freedom: Moral Commitment and Ethical Action in the Classroom
