It is because of this belief that John Gilman felt compelled to put into his own words his life story - and quite a story it is. This book offers accounts of a man who in high school led a successful student strike in support of a badly needed new school building; who received the Distinguished Service Cross, the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart and Cluster, and a special citation from President Roosevelt for his defense of freedom during World War II; who proudly proclaimed his progressive beliefs in the face of constant harassment; who dared the House Un-American Activities Committee in the 1950's to question his patriotism; and who has spent a lifetime defending those who have been unjustly persecuted.
