A forgotten anti-war heroine
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Rankin cast the lone vote against America's entry into World War II. Sanctifiers of that supposed "good war" execrated and demonized this courageous, visionary woman. This book, written for adolescents but suitable for adults, provides an overdue corrective, generally celebrating this eminent daughter of Montana. We love you, Jeannette!
