1) Hardcover Book Will They Ever Trust Us Again? by Simon & Schuster. he kept it funny while telling the dark and horrible truth, not for everybody but if you find humor in irony than this is a good read¤

2) Hardcover Book Will They Ever Trust Us Again? by Simon & Schuster. I do not pretend that Michael Moore is the archetype of the American citizen. I do appreciate many of his books and films such "Bowling for Columbine" and "Farenheit 9/11".
Michael Moore does not put himself in the big show of a mediatic war. He publishes letters from soldiers, veterans of a non-told war, coming or not coming (family). The facts are terrible. There are more soldiers having Post traumatic stress disorders in the 4 years of the Iraq war than in the total years of the Vietnam war.

The picture is clear : the military engagement in Iraq was mislead on false facts; known by many countries such as France which was despised (traitor, coward etc.). USA live a real drama.¤

3) Hardcover Book Will They Ever Trust Us Again? by Simon & Schuster. For the record, Michael Moore is the fellow who put this book together, through his invitation to soldiers to write to him. Mr. Moore, as we all know, is a polarizing figure who you either hate or love, for your own reasons, and he´s the guy who came up with the idea for this book. The real authors of this book, though, are the soldiers who responded to his invitation and wrote back about their feelings of our military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan. This book really belongs to them and their honesty in expressing their thoughts. Now, not all soldiers feel the same way as those who appear in this book, just as there is no clear-cut concensus at home of our military presense in these Middle East countries. Yet I do not believe for one minute that the feelings of these soldiers are just isolated examples from the fringe of our military; when asked to possibly lay down your life for your country, a soldier needs to believe that the cause he is fighting for is good and just, and if there is some question as to the legitimacy of this military operation, soldiers question if their wounding or death would be in vain. Military action was much more clear-cut until about sixty years ago; then our pretense for military operations became progressively more blurry for those out on the battlefield. The soldiers in this book are the real stars of this story: they are the ones with the most to lose and the ones who see the what is really going on in the countries under siege, plus they are the ones who know best about the good or bad that we are creating in these countries. Michael Moore, for his part in the authorship of the book, has put together the book and then has ask the ultimate question: given our blurry pretense for military operations in the Middle East for the last five years, will we (or should we) ever be trusted again when we say that we need to go to war? It´s quite a good question, based on the e-mails of those who have been asked to fight.¤

4) Hardcover Book Will They Ever Trust Us Again? by Simon & Schuster. Michael Moore says that he does non-fiction, unlike some people who make up stories about WMDs in Iraq to justify a war which is really aimed at filling the pockets of individuals with vested interests in a "liberated" Iraq.

This book is a collection of letters from soldiers at the frontline of the war in Iraq. There are also letters from the soldiers´ families and veterans. Moore aims to inform the American public about what the soldiers feel. They are proud to serve, but they also want to know exactly what they are fighting for when there are no WMDs and liberating the Iraqi people is none of America´s business.

Michael Moore´s powerful words: "They served so that wedon´t have to. They offer to give up their lives so that we can be free. It is, remarkably, their gift to us. And all they ask for in return, is that we never send them into harm´s way unless it is absolutely necessary. Will they trust us again?"

Titles of letters include:
"War slaves"
"I feel like I have blood on my hands"
"Obvious ulterior motives"
"There is no excuse for this war"
"Where are the WMDs? Why are we over in Iraq?"
"I call myself an American"

This book is so important at a time when the mainstream media in the US was totally one-sided in favour of the war. I could have given it 5 stars alone for content, but to be honest, I was little bored towards the middle and had to skip some letters before coming to the end. The worst thing is, this book didn´t manage to convince enough people not to re-elect George Bush. Is it because people didn´t know or they just didn´t care?

This book is outdated. Reading it totally will not give the same impact, the hope and despair felt by the first readers before the elections. I hope that almost everyone in America realises by now that this war was a mistake from the start.¤

5) Hardcover Book Will They Ever Trust Us Again? by Simon & Schuster. I think he is a pushy trash journalist.
But he just happens to be right.
We have a president who would be at home among Nazis it appears;
who used a big lie to get us involved in a war
against people who should be our friends;
who has made money for his rich friends killing innocents on both sides.
Who has made a trip to the airport a reveling experience that targets
anyone with an Arab, Islamic or even Indian heritage.
I wasn´t ashamed of American during the Vietnam war:
I am today. I feel we should be apologizing to the world for this dreadful mistake.
The question is : will there be a Nuremberg for the Bush administration?
With this many dead on both sides, I think their should be a world court
hearing about it at least.¤

6) Hardcover Book Will They Ever Trust Us Again? by Simon & Schuster. Personal letters to Michael Moore from soldiers, veterans and their families—published for the first time—sharing their thoughts and feelings about the war in Iraq, with an Introduction by Moore.

Fahrenheit 9/11, the #1 documentary of all time, generated lots of attention and debate—and lots of mail. Michael Moore received scores of letters from active-duty GIs stationed in Iraq as well as family members of those soldiers and military veterans, all wanting to share a side of a story that hasn’t been told elsewhere. With the publication of Will They Ever Trust Us Again?, they will finally be heard.

Will They Ever Trust Us Again? goes beyond politics and gets to the heart of what the fighting in Iraq and the War on Terror are really about, from the people affected firsthand. The title is taken from a line in Fahrenheit 9/11, which asks the question: Can our men and women in uniform ever trust our country’s leaders again, trust that they will be sent into war only when absolutely necessary? To many in the military, and those who wrote letters to Michael Moore, that answer is no.

A provocative collection for anyone who truly supports our troops, Moore’s latest book will certainly be the most talked-about publication of the year.¤
