Author: Chris Savory. Review by Harvey Gillman

by Harvey Gillman 17th July 2020

This autobiography was written by a peace activist who for a number of years was a Friend. It is an easy-to-read, intriguing and racy record of a resonant journey. I learned a lot about someone with whom I was acquainted but didn’t know at any depth. Particularly striking was its voyage through idealism, disillusion, and the yet-remaining conviction that the struggle is not lost. I did have questions about the focus of the book – the way details sometimes got in the way of reflection – but it gave a sense of life lived and experimented with.
