4) The ‘Regime Unchanged’ & 'September 11th Families For Peaceful
    Tomorrows’ seasonal offer (gift-wrapped books from JNV)

Saddam is in jail, but many of his henchmen are free and enjoying the fruits of power, having been reinstalled by the US-UK Coalition.

    “Who would believe that only nine months after the ‘de-Baathification’
     of Iraq had begun, some of the very same intelligence men who served
     Saddam so faithfully would be working with the ‘liberators’?”
     Robert Fisk, Independent on Sunday, 14 December 2003, p.21


In the run-up to Christmas, JNV would like to offer you the opportunity to have a gift-wrapped copy of ‘Regime Unchanged’ (by Milan Rai) or ‘September 11th Families For Peaceful Tomorrows’ (by the Peaceful Tomorrows group) sent with a handmade card to the recipient of your choice anywhere in the UK - for only £10 or £12 respectively, including postage & packaging.

To order a copy, either call JNV on: 0845 458 9571 (local rate) or reply to this email giving the details requested in the order form below.


WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT ‘REGIME UNCHANGED’:

John Pilger, August 2003:
“a magnificent exposé of the lies that propelled the criminal attack on Iraq.”

Geoff Simons, ‘Morning Star’, September 2003:
“[Regime Unchanged] is a detailed account... an immensely valuable text of great use to activists and anyone else who wants to understand the full extent of the lies perpetrated by the Bush and Blair regimes in the effort to justify an aggressive war.”

Alan Cottey, ‘Scientists for Global Responsibility’, November 2003:
“[Regime Unchanged] is a near instant book which I think is nevertheless, in the few months since publication, well on its way to being vindicated by history.”

Red, Peace News December 2003
“Densely packed and scrupulously referenced ‘Regime Unchanged’ is essential reading for all those who opposed the war.”

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT ‘SEPTEMBER 11TH FAMILIES FOR PEACEFUL TOMORROWS’:

Michael Moore:
“I have so much admiration for Peaceful Tomorrows— people of courage and conviction. This book is a powerful reminder that the cycle of violence and retaliation can and must be broken.”

Ron Kovic, author of ‘Born on the Fourth of July’:
“Voices of great courage, healing, and wisdom... A beautiful and important book.”

Grace Paley, poet and author:
“Peaceful Tomorrows should give us hope in a hopeless time, and their courage in a fearful time should give us bravery.”

Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich:
“No one can speak with a more powerful voice or with more authority on the need for peace andustice in our society than Peaceful Tomorrows.”— U.S.
