Learn about counter-recruiting. Protect young people. A new book, Army of None: Strategies to Counter Military Recruitment, End War and Build a Better World, was published by Seven Stories Press in August 2007. It is already appreciated as one of the most comprehensive, focused and in-depth summaries about why counter-recruiting in schools is so important, both on an individual level to protect our youth, and in the context of “getting to the root causes of our problems and building a better world.” The book’s authors, Aimee Allison and David Solnit, are coordinators of “The Army of None Project.” They will tour from Portland to Bellingham from January 10 to 24. They seek speaking engagements, opportunities to conduct workshops promoting counter-recruitment, and other opportunities.
