Blood on the Tracks recounts the life of S. Brian Willson. His story begins in small-town, rural America, where he grew up as a "Commie-hating, baseball-loving Baptist," moves through life-changing experiences in Viet Nam, Nicaragua and elsewhere, and culminates with his commitment to a localized, sustainable lifestyle. Brian spoke and autographed copies of his book at the Peace & Justice Center. The title refers to the incident at Concord Naval Weapons Center, where a train ran over Willson, severing his legs as he and others were protesting U.S. involvement in Central America.
President of the Peace and Justice Center Dr. Sharat G. Lin is currently in Cairo, reporting on activities associated with the first anniversary of the Egyptian revolution.
