A longtime agitator against war and social injustice, Lawrence Wittner has been tear-gassed, threatened by police with drawn guns, spied upon by the US government, arrested, and purged from his job for political reasons. In this absorbing memoir, he traces the dramatic course of a life and career that took him from a Brooklyn boyhood in the 1940s to an education at Columbia University and the University of Wisconsin to the front lines of peace activism, the fight for racial equality, and the struggles of the labour movement.
