Packaged nicely

What a tragedy to such a beautiful soul. This will fit well in my library. Free Palestine!

Great book!

I think that this book has the ability to capture a person's attention on an emotional level as well as a political one. Rachel Corrie was a very profound writer, even as a teenager. In this book you get to experience her life the way that she did. She was a very special person and you can see that as you read this book. It was a tragedy the way she died, and I think that this book kind of does her memory some justice.

The Best in US

Rachel Corrie's communications in the weeks preceding her death, herein collected, are among the most elegant of testimonies to what is best in the human spirit. Rachel wrote, as she lived, for what counts, with precision, passion, and single-minded devotion.

correction to review below

Ms. Corrie belonged to the ISM (International Solidarity movement), not the PSM. The ISM is an organization dedicated to non-violence.

Stunning

This book. This story. This life. This world-- it's all in there. It should be part of social science curriculum in high schools and colleges. Rachel was a person of conviction. Her life and witness inspire us all.

we must not let the light go out

This tiny 52 page book is one of the most important pieces that I have read in my life. Rachel Corrie's writing, backed up by her work as a 5th grader and as an adult, is humbling. Alan Rickman's editing and placement is briliant. This book should be on every book club's list and on every thearter company's stage.
