The Sin Warriors

Julian E. Farris

4.9/5 (25683 ratings)

Description:Jacksonville, Florida – It doesn’t take much to destroy careers, pull families apart and ruin lives. A mix of ignorance and hatred, combined with an insatiable lust for power, will suffice. And in Florida, circa 1960, that unholy mix fermented in the Florida Legislative Investigation Committee, a.k.a. the Johns Committee. Using blackmail, intimidation and coercion, the Johns Committee—led by segregationist state senator Charley Eugene Johns—managed to “disappear” more than 300 suspected homosexual students, faculty and administrators from Florida’s public colleges, universities and schools. Julian Earl Farris’ novel The Sin Warriors uses the treachery of that time to explore themes of self-knowledge, love, loyalty and resilience. Echoes of Johns can be seen in the demagogue Billy Sloat, a small-town Florida politician who climbs to statewide office over the backs of the disenfranchised and disfavored. Exploiting the fears and mistrust of his constituents, Sloat launches a McCarthy-era witch hunt targeting gays and lesbians in academia under the premise that these “weak links” could be used by communists to infiltrate schools and corrupt students. Caught in the maelstrom, student David Ashton, another product of small town Florida, and his friends try to preserve their integrity and their futures.--from Lethe PressWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
