Winner of the International PeaceWriting Award.
Before there were television shows such as Survivor, there were real-life, Survivor-like projects. This is an account of some of those. The author walked about 5,000 miles across the U.S. and Europe to Russia in 1984-85 with the Cold War barrier-breaking project, A Walk of the People - A Pilgrimage For Life. He then joined similar walks.
An inspiring personal account of a remarkable commitment to peace. Shay's journey's urgent purpose and the stories he tells of breakthroughs call all of us today to try much better to avert nuclear war.
