About the Book: 

For over four decades Angie has campaigned for a greener, fairer and safer world.

This remarkable account of her campaigning life shares some of the lessons she has learnt from her actions in many different countries. Heartfelt but clear, it includes personal insights into mobilising for effective, sustainable actions, dealing with security, police and courts and how seemingly different issues are actually closely intertwined.

This unique book covers nuclear weapons, militarism, climate change, corporate abuses of power, environmental destruction and much more.

Reviews: 

It has been one of the privileges of my life to be with Angie as she stands up for justice, peace and the environment. She personifies what being an activist means – courage, commitment and a conscience. She’s an inspiration to us all. CAROLINE LUCAS MP. 

Angie Zelter’s life long commitment to her campaigns and PICAT legal actions have been a major force towards nuclear disarmament and informing my own conclusion that we should say ‘No to Trident'. CoOMMANDER ROBERT FORSYTH, Royal Navy (Retired)

With decades of experience of local, national and international campaigning on many of the key issues of our time Angie Zelter has distilled an extraordinary amount of determination and learning into an absolute gem of a book. PROFESSOR PAUL ROGERS
