New book: "Occupy this Book"

I just read a great book by an author I really like. It spoke to me, and if you are anywhere between the ages of political awareness and empathy for your fellow creatures, you’ll like this too.
I call Mickey Z. my Occupy brother, and always have since I became familiar with his articles and activism. Like me, Mickey was actively working to make this earth a better place to live on for his fellow creatures, long before we had the opportunity to Occupy Wall Street, which I will always be so thankful for – thankful to our disenfranchised young people who began to protest a government which has become no less than predatory against its own people.
Those first weeks when we got wind of the revolution, people walking off their jobs and out of their homes to come and peacefully march through New York City, showed that the system is not working for most of us; not our students, our pensioned workers, our retired, our middle class or our poor. The wonderful thing was that Wall Street brokers joined us too, until the government militarized the police and violently attacked us everywhere we showed up.
Mickey Z. was a voice in the dark during the prolonged media blackout of no information, or mis-information on network news and in all of the newspapers. Journalists like myself were photographed and harassed or attacked by the NYPD, just for showing up.
This book, Occupy this Book, is a call to action, in the no nonsense way of Mickey Z.’s beautiful writing style. It is frank and in your face, unapologetic about the militant compassion the author has for his fellow man, animals and this earth.
This book will inspire you to make some changes, as small or as large as you are able. Some of the statistics are staggering, but as a second generation, life long social activist myself, I know that we are truly in this kind of trouble.
So I’ll meet you “on the corner of Empathy and Anger.” Mickey Z. lets us know that together we are still powerful enough as citizens to affect real change, but we will not have that opportunity for long. There is no time to wait.
This book is a home run, Mickey Z.
