And Peggy Logue couldn't disagree more. \u003cp\u003e When Peggy's nineteen-year-old son, U.S. Marine Michael Logue, is deployed to a volatile area of Iraq, Peggy suddenly faces an alarming challenge to her anti-war sensibilities. Should she remain silent or give voice to her feelings? Despite being called a \"coward\" by other members of the Marine Family Residence group, Peggy takes to the streets for her anti-war protests in a determined attempt to understand the reasons for her son's duty to his country and the politics of war. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Peggy's protests, her stress over Mike's deployment, and her fierce pride in her son hurtle her along an emotional roller coaster for the entire year of Mike's tour. Yet not once does she compromise her beliefs, but instead asks the tough questions and demands answers. What she discovers, however, is human nature's predilection for violence. Only by becoming warriors for peace will war cease to exist. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Intense, raw, and profoundly honest, Skin in the Game illustrates the human side of war and the daily struggle for peace. But even more, it is the story of the struggle of an anti-war mama bear and her son in combat listening, respecting, and always loving each other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Logue Peggy Logue,Peggy Logue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trafford Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781426924347\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeggy Logue is the mother of three children.
