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.
