call for interest

Dear Collegues,

the opposition against the Bush war policy in the France and German governments 
might be over after the Evian G 8 summit. All the more does it seem important 
to do 
more for the information of the general public, and counteract the one-sided 
mainstream media. This is why i would like to work on a book which could 
attempt to 
give a general overview over the major aspects of the Bush policy.

I have drafted a first possible outline (attachment) which is still open to 
debate. My hope 
is to win US authors to write the chapters, for two reasons: your expertise and 
access to 
the relevant sources is extremely better than ours from abroad, and it would at 
the 
same time demonstrate that there is a lifely opposition within the US. So your 
comments are most welcome. Even more would i appreciate if you would be willing 
to 
contribute one of the chapters.

I thought of some 15 to 20 chapters, with something like 20 pages each.

I would then establish an eMail-list to exchange views and draft chapters for 
mutual 
comment.

Although the book is aimed at a non-american readership in the first place (and 
i would 
like to care for a german translation and a publisher), it is open whether or 
not there 
might also be sufficient interest in north america.

Hoping that this might find your interest, i am cordially yours, Bernd Hamm
