Confessions Of A Non-Violent Revolutionary: Bean Stew, Blisters, Blockades and Benders
by Chris Savoury
Clairview Books £12.99
CONFESSIONS of a Non-violent Revolutionary is a political memoir that manages to cover all bases in that it is gentle, honest, funny, sad and inspiring.
Determined to fight for a peaceful, socially just and ecologically sustainable society, Chris Savoury dropped out of Oxford University in the early ’80s and embarked upon a journey that was to see him living on peace camps, experimenting in communal living and organic allotments, touring in mining communities as part of an agitprop theatre group and working in a radical bookshop.
