<h1>Blood on the Tracks: The Life and Times of S. Brian Willson</h1>
<p><strong>When:</strong> Thursday, October 20, 2011, 7:30 pm<br><strong>Where: </strong>Cambridge Friends Meeting Center • 5 Longfellow Park, off Brattle St. • Harvard Sq T • Cambridge</p>
<div class="content">
<div class="event-nodeapi">Brian Willson, author of BLOOD ON THE TRACKS - a powerful new book about</div>
<div class="event-nodeapi">the US Government assault on him and our nonviolent protest, and his<br>
"conversion" to a Warrior for Peace.<br><em><img width="150" height="224" align="right" alt="" src="http://justicewithpeace.org/files/u414/bloodOnTheTracks.jpg"></em>
</div>
<p>In 1987, Willson, a former intelligence officer in Vietnam, was deliberately run over by a locomotive as he sat on the tracks at the U.S. Navy Munitions Arsenal in Concord, California. He was there trying to stop shipments of arms to Central America. Willson lost both legs. As he reouncs in his book, his personal experiences in Vietnam led him to peace activism and his subsequent bloody amputations did nothing to slow him down. As Daneil Ellsberg recounts in his forward to the book, Willson's story of personal courage and determination can and should be an inspiration for us all.</p>
<p>Sponsored by Cambridge UJP, the Cambridge Peace Commission, the Friends Meeting, and Massachusetts Peace Action.</p>
