Peace Action Maine is proud to bring this hard nosed former cop to 
The Meg Perry Center. Since retirement in Maine James Moore has 
written freelance for several periodicals, including, Newsweek. Mr. 
Moore has written a suspense thriller, Official Secrets, and a 
history of ATF, Very Special Agents.

The two books Human Sacrifice and State Secrets are the result of 
Moore's determination and dedication to find the truth in a most 
disturbing case of law enforcement mishandling and cover-ups. This 
discussion will not be an easy one for those who believe in the 
assumption of innocence until proven guilty.

For more information please contact Peace Action Maine at 772-0680.
