Release Date: 1992-01-01
ITEM OVERVIEW
The humble, moving, and inspiring autobiography of Brian Willson. Working class stiff. Vietnam vet. Who became an anti-prison activist, Veteran counselor, and finally, non-violent activist against Empire. He's famous as the chap that was run over by the munitions train he was blockading in 1986 (while protesting the murderous US involvement in Latin America, particularly Nicaragua), but this wonderful read is much more than that. Like Howard Zinn's You Can't Be Neutral On A Moving Train, this mixes autobiography, inspiration, and a radical history of our times. Great stuff. With an introduction by Staughton Lynd.
