Description:
"This book was conceived in a pizza joint in El Salvador in January 1992. San Salvador was celebrating the just-signed peace accords and ceasefire. We had been involved in protective accompaniment work for four years, and we wanted to share the excitement of having witnessed and supported a valiant struggle.
In this book, we attempt to draw some lessons from a decade of practice with a new tool in human rights protection, where unarmed international volunteers physically accompany those who are threatened with violence" (From the Preface)
"an important contribution in the search for paths and alternatives in extreme and violent situations. These testimonies convey a sense of hope, born of solidarity and ripened through walking side by side with the people."
-ADOLFO PEREZ ESQUIVEL (1980 Nobel Peace Laureate)
