Although I have used All Quiet on the Western Front in my classes for the past thirty years, I am replacing it with Hell, Healing, and Resistance. This is a remarkable volume...Unlike other war books, it focuses on healing and reconciliation and includes stories of people who have embraced pacifism as a result of their combat experiences. Be all you can be -read this book! -- Joseph Fahey, Manhattan College

As this terrible century draws to an end, these poignant and searing testimonials give an unusually valuable perspective on its horrors, and show us how we can and must ensure that this shameful chapter of human history is closed for good. -- Noam Chomsky, M.I.T.

Eloquent...takes the reader on a powerful journey into the soul of militarism. From basic training to emotional recovery from war-related trauma, the reader is treated to an insider's view...of the social, political, and psychological processes through which human beings become combatants, and through which they must return if they are to recover a life of sanity and inner peace. -- The Reporter for Conscience' Sake, Winter 1997/Spring 1998

Powerful...I highly recommend it for veterans and non-veterans alike. It gives me hope in the struggle for peace and healing. -- Fr. Roy Bourgeois, Maryknoll Priests

This is a wonderful oral history of war veterans, unique in its sweeping coverage of many military adventures. It is a poignant and revealing portrait of war seen from the bottom up. Let us hope it will be read by young people all over our nation, as a sobering reminder that we must have no more war veterans. -- Howard Zinn, Boston University
