DESCRIPTION:	A Book Talk with Brian Willson "Blood on the Tracks: The Life and Times of 
 Brian Willson" 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. About the Author S. Brian Willson is a Vietnam veteran and nonviolent 
 pacifist. He lives in Portland, Oregon. \n
