Renunciation Charles J Liteky

"Renunciation" is the dramatic story of a man who was awarded and then renounced the Medal of Honor. This book will take you on a journey with a Catholic priest who first found the war in Vietnam to meet the "just war" criteria of his church to a man who left the priesthood and came to renounce all war. You will read about the terrible events - from U. S. policy in Central America to his protest and jail time at the School of the Americas - that inspired a man to challenge all of his former beliefs about war and peace. Inspired by his wife, Judy, and fellow peace workers Roy Bourgeois and Brian Willson, Charlie Liteky chose to pursue the majestic path of nonviolent direct action against the principalities and powers that led the United States to wreak such violence and injustice around the world. Read this story; learn from it; be inspired by it. And then look into your own conscience.
