Publisher's Synopsis
Brian Willson has undertaken risk-taking, non-violent actions in an attempt to educate and effect political change throughout his life, whether tax refusal, fasting or using one's body as an obstruction. In 1987, the world watched in horror as Willson was run over by a US government munitions train during a non-violent blocking action, but losing his legs only strengthened his resolve and empathy with the victims of US imperialism. His memoir serves as a guidebook for those who question imperialistic foreign policies and wish to explore ways to combat it.
