Brothers And Sisters/Companeros Y Companeras,

My autobiography, Walter Pietsch: Evolution of a Peaceful Revolutionary, is a MUST- READ FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU! Why? Not only because it makes very interesting reading, written like I’m sitting down having a cup of coffee across the table from you, but most importantly because THE VISION IT CONTAINS, WHEN IMPLEMENTED WITH YOUR HELP, WILL TRANSFORM OUR COUNTRY INTO A CARING DEMOCRACY, RUN BY THE PEOPLE.

Here’s what some folks are already saying about it and my activism…

STEPHANIE (she is a young woman who works in Dunkin Donuts, Brentwood Road, Brentwood, New York): "Walter, when I read Chapter Eight, I have to tell you it was hotter than Fifty Shades Of Grey! Then, I read the whole book, and I loved it! So, I gave it to my Mom to read. She did, and she loved it! Now, she gave it to my Grandma to read!”

DENISE (Nurse’s Aid, Maria Regina Residence, Brentwood, New York): “Your writing style is so interesting to read. I really like the way you’ll start on a subject, and then sometimes jump to something you want the reader to know about right then and there, just like you’re talking to us!”

DR. JEFFREY LEONARDIS (Board Certified Cardiologist and Internist, Garden City): “Walter, your writing style is fantastic! You really know how to write! Even though I’m conservative in my political views and don’t agree with everything you say, I respect you and what you have done!”

CHARLES FERRARA (Vietnam Veteran who was on a rooftop in Saigon when the Tet Offensive broke out): “As I was walking across the floor while in Winthrop Hospital, Mineola, Long Island, in a bed next to his father, Charles, Sr: Walter, please be careful how you walk; the world needs you!” Charles made this comment before he read my book, but after getting to know me and my views. His brother, Paul, already bought my book.

And on the literary side…

MAXWELL CORYDON WHEAT, JR . (First Poet Laureate, Nassau County, New York): “Walter Pietsch (writes) . . . in a robust, rough-hewned style that keeps the reader fixed on this story. . . Human interest . . . makes this . . . a brilliant read! (The book) is (an) entertaining . . . window into the people of contemporary American history.”

ED ASNER (actor/activist; member, Foundation for Democracy): “. . . a fighter for the right things that occupy our lives and are usually ignored.”

CORA SANTAGUIDA (2012 CT Green Party candidate for Board of Education, Stamford; member, PoemAlley: "Walter Pietsch: Evolution of a Peaceful Revolutionary was a great experience. Pietsch addresses issues that many would avoid... with courage, know-how and grace. This thoughtful autobiography emanates passion alongside great moments of tenderness. Walter Pietsch's words educate and inspire."


SO FOLKS, WHAT’S IT ABOUT? Love, sex, caring, golf, God, the soul, current events and what’s really going on and what’s wrong with things--and a simple, non-violent vision which, when implemented, will change everything for the better for all of us--except those who are multi-millionaires and billionaires (the 1% ers).

What People Say About Walter and His Work

"You know, Walter, (while) I found Chapter Eight hotter than Fifty Shades of Grey… I read your whole book, and found it is so much nicer! I loved it so much, I gave it to my mother to read. She read it, and she also loved it! So, guess what, she gave it to my grandmother, who is now reading it as well!"
--Stephanie is a young woman Walter Pietsch met at Dunkin Donuts in Brentwood, Long Island, near the nursing home where he visits his wife, Anita, a few hours, almost every single day. He gave her a copy of the first edition of his autobiography and she got back to him a few days later.
"... A fighter for the right things that occupy our lives and are usually ignored,"                               
       --Edward Asner,
actor/activist,
Campaign for Peace and Democracy


“Walter Pietsch (writes)… in a robust, rough-hewned style that keeps the reader fixed on this story about a strenuous peace and justice activist: organizing a college student movement against the death penalty…, filing a lawsuit to the International Court of Justice against the Reagan administration’s ‘totally unlawful, brutal war’ against Nicaragua, appearing at the Americana Hotel in New York to make a citizen’s arrest of President Richard Nixon…, finding his car surrounded by Newark (New Jersey) police cars… (are just some of his)… many confrontations with authority.

Human interest (also)… makes this… a brilliant read: marriages, divorce, other relationships—he discusses these with compassion and gusto. Evolutionary Revolutionary is (an) entertaining… window into the people of contemporary American history.”                                
       --Maxwell C. Wheat,
First Poet Laureate,
Nassau County, NY

"... An activist who joins his energy to is intelligence."

They Stole Our Country: We're Taking Her Back! (2003)
