UPDATE ON BOOK FOR SALE

Since I posted the below on Saturday, without explanation, except that I ‘violated” their terms of service, the service I posted this book on closed my account and removed the book from their website. Of course, I was not told what offended them so much.

The courageous and principled publisher of the Lone Star Iconoclast (Crawford, Tx) Leon Smith passed away. He wrote editorials condemning and criticizing George W. Bush prior to the invasion of Iraq, who was an extremely popular person in that part of the country.

The Iconoclast covered Camp Casey in the summer of 2005 and published a book about Cindy Sheehan's protest, titled: The Vigil: 26 Days in Crawford Texas.

The Smith family has donated some books to Cindy Sheehan to use as a fundraiser for Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox,

For a minimum donation of $15.00, Cindy Sheehan will inscribe a book to you (shipping/handling included). The Vigil is a day by day recount of the Camp Casey protest in Crawford Texas which garnered international attention after George Bush refused to answer Sheehan's simple question: What Noble Cause?---it is also filled with photos from that month in August of 2005.

The compelling inside story of Cindy Sheehan's vigil in Crawford, Texas, that redefined the Bush presidency. At the center of it all was Crawford's own local paper, The Lone Star Iconoclast. The Vigil is an invaluable record of the Iconoclast's coverage, with Sheehan herself providing a scenesetting foreword.

A high.stakes, blow by blow account of the events as they unfolded, The Vigil lets readers experience this vigil right along with the writers and participants as the paper's publisher (W. Leon Smith) and crew demonstrate a level of professional integrity that--to quote Sheehan herself--"shine[s] like a lone spark of integrity in the prairie darkness."
