GREAT Article -- A Lesson on How To Treat War Prisoners -- March 7, 2002
(Yeah, the article is old, but here it is 2013 and, as infuriating as it gets, not a thing about it needs updating.)Knowing there are scores and perhaps hundreds of great books and other works by military veteran authors and artists who have no access to major distribution channels, this page of links is offered to direct the visitor to each author's or artist's web site or to pop-up a e-mail window so you can write to them.
There is a link at the bottom to register a free listing for your book or other works such as musical recordings, artistic creations and similar works, and a link page to other military-oriented sites. No links to commercial storefronts or general merchandise, please. This site is for the "little guy" and privateer military Veteran. But you are welcome to list your own creations even if you do have a distribution system.
THIS SITE UPDATED WITH EACH NEW ENTRY.
