SUPPLEMENTARY PRE-PUBLICATION
NOTICE
"AID AND COMFORT": Jane Fonda in North
Vietnam
During the Viet Nam war, Jane Fonda journeyed to Hanoi. She
met with senior Communist civilian and military leaders, held press conferences,
toured sites of alleged bombing, "interviewed" American prisoners of war, and,
most important, made a series of propaganda broadcasts. Did
Hanoi Jane commit treason? By examining her childhood motivations, her
radicalization, her POW "audience," her activities in Hanoi, and through a
detailed analysis of the American law of treason, "Aid and Comfort": Jane Fonda
in North Viet Nam makes the case that more than sufficient evidence existed to
indict and convict Hanoi Jane of the crime of treason. In addition, the
book reveals the shocking story of how the House Committee on Internal Security
and the United States Department of Justice swept Fonda's conduct under the
bureaucratic rug so that she would never be indicted. The appendix to the
book includes the text of all Fonda's broadcasts in North Viet
Nam.
McFarland & Co. is now accepting pre-publication orders
for "Aid and
Comfort": Jane Fonda in North Viet Nam. As we announced
recently, by visiting www.hanoijane.net you will be able to view the book's
cover, a flyer containing information about the book, a pre-publication order
form, and ordering information. HOWEVER, THE PUBLISHER HAS JUST
CREATED A DIRECT LINK FROM HANOIJANE.NET TO McFARLAND, ENABLING THOSE WHO WANT
TO SUBMIT A PRE-PUBLICATION ORDER TO DO SO WITH "ONE CLICK."
As
we said before, we encourage those of you who want this book to succeed to
promptly forward this notice to your email lists, and to ask the recipients to
promptly forward it to others, and so on down the line. Also, feel free to
print, copy, and distribute the flyer/order form, and ask libraries to purchase
"Aid and Comfort."
We cannot stress enough the importance of
pre-publication orders. For one
thing, they will affect the quantity
of the book's first printing. For
another, pre-publication orders may
influence the publisher's promotional and related efforts on behalf of the
book. Thus, it will be very helpful if those of you who intend to purchase
"Aid and Comfort": Jane Fonda in North Viet Nam order it now, and encourage
others to do so.
Thanks,
HANK and ERIKA HOLZER
