TYRANNY FIGHTERS BOOK NOW AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE

This is a book that had to be written, about a story that had to be told.

Tyranny Fighters: The Julian Heicklen Chronicles


Now it's available through worldwide distribution for purchase or download in paperback, eBook, Kindle and iTunes at online booksellers like Amazon, Barnes&Noble, Goodreads and Lulu.


From age 77 until he turned 80 veteran rights activist Julian Heicklen was confronted, harassed, attacked, arrested and jailed by the very law enforcers and justice officials charged with protecting his rights. On more than one occasion he was injected with dangerous antipsychotic drugs, all because he refused to be complicit in his own illegal arrests.

His "crime" was giving jury rights pamphlets to fellow American citizens who voluntarily chose to accept them while both were standing peacefully on public sidewalks in front of America's public courthouses.

Over the years he was joined by a thousand-strong group of supporters who came to be known as Tyranny Fighters, freedom-loving men and women who assisted him in whatever capacity they could; helping distribute brochures, video recording, photographing, witnessing, reporting, publicizing, interviewing, advocating and aiding in his legal battles.

Many of these Tyranny Fighters themselves became victims of the establishment's confrontations, threats, harassments, attacks, arrests and prosecutions.

In my own role as a Tyranny Fighter I served as a reporter, writer, opinionizer, publicist and advocate with my online column The Libertarian News Examiner. From the beginning of Julian's activism and the rise of the Tyranny Fighters I wrote and posted some 70 news and commentary articles in their support.

Now I've collected it all in a single volume under the title Tyranny Fighters: The Julian Heicklen Chronicles. All of the original articles are here, amplified with additional introductory notes and by never before published background material from activist emails, and further supplemented with reader comments, social media commentaries and mainstream news sources.

The book tells the story as it happened, from beginning to end, article by article, dateline by dateline, blow by blow, the setbacks and successes and even the infighting, the coming together of the libertarian community in overwhelming support of the jailed activists with demonstrations and protests and marches and call floods and freedom pages on social media sites.

More than just a riveting chronicle of real world conflict and confrontation in the name of freedom this book celebrates the courage and inspiration of Julian Heicklen and applauds the contributions of all those who proudly took up the mantle of Tyranny Fighter.
