Local book talks by David Hartsough, author of Waging Peace: Global Adventures of a Lifelong Activist

David Hartsough, NP’s co-founder, will be in NYC December 8th-10th. His new book, Waging Peace: Global Adventures of a Lifelong Activist, has recently been released. The book chronicles his life and lifelong efforts to promote peace. Since meeting Martin Luther King, Jr. as a teenager in the mid 1950’s, David has actively been part of many key nonviolent movements over the last half-century: the civil rights movement, the anti-nuclear testing movement, the movement to end the Vietnam war, the U.S. Central America peace movement, the anti-apartheid movement, and the movements to end the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In recent years, he helped found the Nonviolent Peaceforce and a new global venture to end armed conflict, World Beyond War.
