About the Author:
From the Australian Broadcasting Company to the Washington Post, Jack Gilroy's students were known for their political-social activism. Now, Gilroy's fictional characters of young men of integrity come to life in his award winning novels, Absolute Flanigan and The Wisdom Box (OMNI Peace Hope International Writing Award for 2001). Both stories are of young men who refused to follow United States Government orders to go to other countries to kill citizens and soldiers.
