From the Introduction by Eric Larsen From Complicity to Contempt details the changing political views of an Army veteran of 21 years. From the opening of the "Global war on Terror," this writer-patriot saw that his beliefs about his country were no longer based on truth. The Constitution and Bill of Rights were being dismantled in plain sight and the majority of his fellow citizens were either unaware of it or failing to stop it. Gatto's book provides a highly personal but also powerful look into the frustration and anger of an American who came to see that everything he'd stood for throughout his entire life was being turned into a fraud and charade.

Tim Gatto is. . . to our American literary population what the spotted owl is to our national wildlife.

Tim has been writing politically for the last five years and has published on many liberal/progressive venues. He is a 20 year Army veteran, having served in Asia, Europe and the U.S. He was a die hard Democrat until he left the party and formed the Liberal Party of America (LPA). After much hard work the party floundered but Tim's education about the nature of money and politics led to an understanding of the machinations of the stranglehold of the two-party system, the corporacracy and the corporate hold on the media. The political education he obtained and the understanding of rabid control of capitalists in government have led him to embrace many socialist principles. He has a blog, http://liberalpro.blogspot.com, and a radio show at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/liberalpro . Tim is a native New Yorker and now lives in South Carolina.
