From the hysteria over the Sputnik launching to the current quagmire in Iraq, activist Norman Solomon has lived through decades of America\u2019s perpetual warfare state. Lessons learned from a lifetime of resisting are reflected upon through Solomon\u2019s newest book, \u201cMade Love, Got War: Close Encounters with America\u2019s Warfare State.\u201d Part autobiography, part social commentary, the book follows various social movements from civil rights, to anti-Vietnam War and anti-nuclear armament causes. \u201cMade Love, Got War,\u201d is harrowingly shadowed by an ever-present and never ignored possibility of nuclear armageddon. As the warfare state is equipped with the weapons of mass annihilation, Solomon mulls through the shortcomings and failures of movements past, while retaining a conviction that a better tomorrow can still be constructed. Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey, in praise of Solomon\u2019s book \u201cMade Love, Got War,\u201d said that, \u201cWe should all heed his call to activism, or our children\u2019s future could be in doubt.\u201d Norman Solomon is the author of twelve books including War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death. He is also a nationally syndicated columnist and Executive Director of the Institute for Public Accuracy<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/www.peaceandjustice.org\/docs\/images\/solomon-book.jpg\"\/)
