The War in the Country“Reading The War in the Country was very worthwhile for the stories of tension, trauma, cultural clashes and urban economics that are forcing change in rural areas...And give Thomas Pawlick a nod for believing that a wide alliance of interests is necessary if country folk are to have a say in managing the all-pervasive urban influence.” Alternatives Journal, Apr 1, 2010 Read more about The War in the Country >> |
The War in the Country“Journalist Thomas Pawlick knows rural life well...He has seen, first-hand, the tragic transformation of our traditional family farms and the corruption of our food system.
