Phillip A. Bassett - Solidier of Truth
November 8
Much of the news these days makes it obvious that our justice system doesn’t serve everyone—the richest players always seem to win. In Benton Harbor, MI, corporate giant Whirlpool pushes its weight around like a schoolyard bully, taking whatever it wants. This has never sat well with resident Edward Pinkney, and he has chosen the hard road of standing up to these abuses. His efforts, and the resulting government backlash, are part of the amazing story that unfolds in this book. In Soldier of Truth, Philip A. Bassett combines court reporting with personal stories to create a powerful portrait of Rev. Edward Pinkney and his quest to bring justice into America’s courtrooms. Join the author on his own journey, as his life is forever changed when he meets and befriends this remarkable man.
