Jim Perakis’s novel, Fighting for Peace, is now listed on Amazon as an eBook and paperback.

Tom Beckett, US Navy fighter pilot, abandons his Navy career and falls in love with Kate McCarthy, anti-war protestor. Tom’s obsession to end the war sends him into a battle with police, FBI, and a gripping journey from patriot to terrorist and back again.

The political decisions of five presidents extended the Vietnam War for almost a decade and resulted in the loss of fifty eight thousand American lives. Many US servicemen performed bravely and were proud of their service. War crimes were committed on both sides and many civilians were killed.

In gatherings of tens of thousands of people in many US cities over twelve years, millions of well-organized and mostly young war protestors were ridiculed and hated by presidents, congress, and a majority of the misinformed American public.
