All Quiet on the
Western Front opened to wide
acclaim in the United States 1930. Considered a realistic and harrowing account
of warfare in World War I,
it made the American Film Institute's first 100 Years...100 Movies list in 1997. A decade later,
after the same organization polled over 1,501 workers in the creative
community, All Quiet on the Western Front was ranked the
seventh-best American epic film.[6][7] In
1991, the film was selected and preserved by the United States Library of Congress' National Film Registry as being deemed "culturally, historically, or
aesthetically significant".[8][9] The
film was the first to win the Academy Awards for
both Outstanding Production and Best Director.

Zelter,
Angie. ACTIVISM
FOR LIFE: Wake Up, the World is Dying, Now Do Something About It. “
Rev. Leonard Eiger, “Angie Zelter’s New Memoir Activism for Life.” Ground Zero (July 2021). Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action. https://www.gzcenter.org
Ms. Zelter is one of the tens of thousands of outstanding US peacemakers,
and GZC one of the thousands of organizations, resisting our culture of war.
ACTIVISM FOR LIFE: “’Wake
Up, the World is Dying,’” Now Do Something About It.” By Leonard Eiger. June 13, 2021.
Longtime activist
Angie Zelter, in the preface to her newest book, ACTIVISM FOR
LIFE, says “It is 50 years since I left university, started my real
education and began thinking how I could help create a better world.” That
introduction sets the stage for 50 years of activism for the sake of that world
she seeks.
Lest you think
ACTIVISM FOR LIFE might be just another memoir, that would be an injustice.
Angie not only reflects on the campaigns around the world in which she has been
involved – Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp, SOS Sarawak, Trident
Ploughshares, Save Jeju Now, Extinction Rebellion, and many more – but builds on
the practical lessons she has learned along the way, offering insights into
mobilizing for effective and sustainable action. MORE https://www.gzcenter.org/activism-for-life-wake-up-the-world-is-dying-now-do-something-about-it/
Tere is much more to
discover in ACTIVISM FOR LIFE that I will leave for you to
discover. I invite you to read ACTIVISM FOR LIFE, and if you find
it worthy, buy additional copies and give them as graduation gifts for young
people you know, and help them start their real education and activism for
their lives, and for the sake of the world in which they live.
ACTIVISM FOR LIFE is published by Luath Press Ltd., and is available from a number of
booksellers. All royalties will go to Trident Ploughshares, a campaign to disarm the UK Trident nuclear weapons system in
a nonviolent, open, peaceful and fully accountable manner.

Now Plowshares trial in December 2010.
