Publisher's Synopsis
In this collection of essays, three of which are previously unpublished, the author of A People's History of the United States writes about the role of artists, activists and publishers in making advances in peace, welfare and social justice through war resistance. Looking at the unique power of the artist to critique power and inspire others to challenge authority, as well as the example of Emma Goldman and anarchism, how film can be used as a forum for resistance, and the role that grassroots pamphlets have played in history, this is a rich rejection of war.
