Timothy V. Gatto

Tim Gatto was born in 1950 in New York, and grew up in the Cold War era. Idealistically, he enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1968, though the Vietnam War soon began shaping and changing his ideas about American foreign policy, much as it for most of his generation.While still serving, he joined the protest against the Vietnam War, and later, after witnessing the fraudulent run-up to the Iraq War engineered by the Bush administration, he again became politically active. He lives in South Carolina, a liberal independent in one of the reddest states in America.
