Product Description
by Paul Mayer (Author)
In his recently completed memoir, Paul Mayer revisits the major social and political movements of the last fifty years--the Civil Rights, anti-war and anti-nuclear movements, Latin America, the Cold War, Cuba, climate change, and his encounters with world leaders. These are the movements of his life. Mayer was there, not only as a concerned citizen activist, but as part of his soul's commitment to justice. In his memoir, he traces his commitment and involvement--and the personal struggles he faced in living out his convictions.
