My Country is the World
Garry Davis, Editor, Wm Honan
ISBN 0-931545-01-3

        On May 25, 1948, Garry Davis, a former Broadway actor & B-17 bomber pilot in WW II, walked into the United States Embassy in Paris & renounced his United States citizenship. Since that spring day, Davis has claimed to be a World Citizen. Thus began a physical and spiritual odyssey which has many times led Davis back & forth across the globe & which has not yet ended. The story of that odyssey of the man behind it & of the ideals of world citizenship & world peace which inspired it is told in this highly dramatic, entertaining & timely book.
        He has faced the temptation of great power, as embodied in the 20,000 Parisians who cheered his speech in the Velodrome d'Hiver, in the bagful of mail which came to his little strip of no-man's-land between France & Germany, & in the over 1,000,000 people who registered as world citizens, with the support of internationally prominent intellectuals Camus, Einstein, Schweitzer & many others.
        Throughout, endowed with a sense of humor, inspired by both human rights & the wisdom of India's sages & guided by the ideals which originally led him to action, he has maintained his equilibrium to become an inspirational icon to peacemakers throughout our "global village."

World Government, Ready or Not!
Garry Davis
ISBN 0-931545-00-5

        WORLD GOVERNMENT, READY OR NOT! is the first how-to-do-it and how-it-is-being done book on the making of world peace through government of, by, and for the citizens of the world recounted in masterful detail by a veteran of over 50 years experience in the "field."
        WWII bomber pilot Garry Davis, in 1948 took Emery Reves (Anatomy of Peace) at his word first that "...the ideal of the nation-state is bankrupt.." and second that "There is no first step to world government. World Government is the first step." The eclectic Renaissance Man, stateless World Citizen Davis "lives" the future today treating philosophy, law, economics, travel, space, history and more with equal ease and insight. Moreover, as a world activist, he has seen the inside of over 30 national prisons. E. B.White wrote that "Davis marches to the beat of the Universe while we all march to a broken drum." "The birth pangs of the new world order are already upon us," Davis writes in the Prologue, "and as necessity knows no law but its own, we are too busy attending to that long-heralded and momentous birth to still the shrill cries of infidelity."
        WORLD GOVERNMENT, READY OR NOT! is a book for the 21st century and beyond.

I AM EAGER TO EXPRESS TO THE YOUNG WAR VETERAN DAVIS MY RECOGNITION OF THE SACRIFICE HE HAS MADE FOR THE WELL-BEING OF HUMANITY.
Albert Einstein

Passport to Freedom, A Guide for World Citizens Passport to Freedom, A Guide for World Citizens
Garry Davis (with Greg Guma)
ISBN 0-9706483-3-2

        Passport to Freedom draws on Davis's four decades of experience, offering timely & practical insights & advice for anyone who agrees that the nation-state system itself is one of the greatest threats to humanity today. Davis argues persuasively that individual sovereignty is the key to challenging the arbitrary war power of nations, & proposes a revolutionary strategy for the growth of a democratic World Government of World Citizens for world peace.
        Passport to Freedom reveals dramatically & often with humor how World Citizenship can be a powerful moral and political tool that reveals the living reality of One World. But it is more; it is a source book of theory & practice that can reempower the individual as well as humanity.
        Through numerous examples, both from his own action & that of others, Davis demonstrates that World Citizenship based on human rights is not merely a noble theory. It works. Thousands of people have used the World Passport described in this book to enter & leave more & more countries & successfully challenge national bureaucrats around the world. For many refugees, World Citizenship often means the difference between freedom & death.
        As an inspiring story & practical guide to all seeking a positive solution to war, this ground-breaking book in our troubled times will provide readers with their own "passport to freedom."

Dear World, A Global Odyssey
Garry Davis
ISBN 0-97064833-1-6

        Dear World, A Global Odyssey is a rollicking, extraordinary global panorama of one man's continuing personal crusade to "live" One World & One Humanity. Besides being a devastating critique of nationalism, it is a practical guide for anyone interested in world peace through law, the freedom to travel, & human rights.
        The main locale is Japan where World Citizen Davis landed while on a world tour as a 1988 candidate for US president; informed the Emperor of his arrival; issued World Passports to Sakharov, the mayors of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, & Tokyo; & to thousands of Southeast Asians working "illegally" in Japan. Finally deported by the Japanese Government back to the United States, he was admitted on his own World Passport!
        Beginning with the founding of the UN & ending with his world tour after the Berlin Wall breakdown, Davis covers individual sovereignty, how to claim to be a world citizen, mundialization (communities declaring themselves global units), the World SyntegrityŽ Project, the exciting new grassroots process designed to evolve a democratic world constitution, & the continuing, historical evolution of the World Government of World Citizens he founded in 1953 following the sensational events of 1948-50, recounted in his first two books, My Country Is the World & Passport to Freedom.

A World Citizen in the Holy Land A World Citizen in the Holy Land
Garry Davis
ISBN 0-9706483-4-0

        Garry Davis' goal in 1976 were the holy sites in what is now called "Israel"-churches, synagogues, temples, mosques, shrines-which he considered "God's territory" on planet earth and could only be protected by World Law and not warring nation-states.
        To that end he flew to the "Holy Land" first identified only by his World Passport and was refused entry at Ben Gurion airport by Israeli immigration on the pretext that he issued the passport "to Israel's enemies." Returning months later with a stateless travel document issued by the French government, he was admitted without question.
        With WSA agent Toma Schick he proceeded to the place equidistant to the Wailing Wall, the Mosque of the Dome and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, displayed the World Flag and declared the sites "world territory under the protection of the World Government of World Citizens."
        Davis met the mayors of Palestinian towns, Ramallah, Halhul, Gaza City, and Bethleham proposing "mondialization" to them. In Haifa, he visited the Baha'i Tabernacle of Unity lunching with a member of the Universal House of Justice.
        His attempt to depart from Israel to Jordan via the Allenby Bridge resulted in being stuck in the middle of the bridge-on the line between the two countries- his passport rejected by both countries. Facing Both Jordanian and Israeli soldiers,he declared the line "world territory" and inviolate by both countries.
        Dedicated to his brother, Meyer Davis, Jr., who died in WWII, the 42-page booklet reveals the real meaning of the ancient land of the prophets, that the world is one and humanity's home, ironically taught in ancient religious texts, Jewish, Christian and Islamic.
