Martyrs
a brief explanation.
The purpose of this book is not to glorify or romanticize those who have fallen- much of this has already been done. This is about questioning what is martyrdom. It is not merely the unjust and savage murder of one individual by another, but the illegitimate authority of a supposed moral superior- be it a person, people, or judicial system- which feels it can justify or ignore the killing of an individual for social or legal deviance.
The cultural justification for murder, by those who kill and those who are willing to die for a greater cause, is carried through generation after generation in an ever increasing willingness to justify murder and death over abstract ideologies.
Many, however, are killed in this world for simply being born as they are.
