In this graphic, thought-provoking book, Ed Griffin-Nolan depicts the experiences of Witness for Peace, a group of Americans who bore witness to the war in Nicaragua--an event that resulted in the killing and wounding of many innocent Central American civilians. The author describes how WFP participants spent weeks in the war zones in order to understand and provide witness to the impact of the United States' foreign policy on people living, as one member of the group phrased it, ""at the other end of the gun barrel"." Motivated by conscience or religious conviction or both, witnesses were attacked verbally by contra supporters in the United States and threatened physically by the contras in the field.
