Signed by the author on the title page. Book has a ding at bottom spine. S. Brian Willson (born July 4, 1941) is a US American Vietnam veteran, peace activist, and trained attorney. Willson served in the US Air Force from 1966 to 1970, including several months as a combat security officer in Vietnam. He subsequently became a member of Vietnam Veterans Against the War and Veterans For Peace. Upon completion of Law School at American University in Washington, D.C., he became a member of the District of Columbia Bar. Willson has had a variety of jobs including penal consultant, prisoner rights advocate, legislative aide, veteran's advocate, and small businessman. As a trained lawyer and writer, he has documented U.S. policy in nearly two dozen countries. He has participated in lengthy fasts, actions of nonviolent civil disobedience, and tax refusal. After serving in the Vietnam War, S. Brian Willson became a radical, nonviolent peace protester and pacifist, and this memoir details the drastic governmental and social change he has spent his life fighting for. Chronicling his personal struggle with a government he believes to be unjust, Willson sheds light on the various incarnations of his protests of the U.S. government, including the refusal to pay taxes, public fasting, and, most famously, public obstruction. On September 1, 1987, Willson was run over by a U.S. government munitions train during a nonviolent blocking action in which he expected to be removed from the tracks. Providing a full look into the tragic event, Willson, who lost his legs in the incident, discusses how the subsequent publicity propelled his cause toward the national consciousness. Now, 23 years later, Willson tells his story of social injustice, nonviolent struggle, and the so-called American way of life. John Yates (Cover) (illustrator).…
