Have feet, speak Truth

Long before reality television shows like Survivor, some people walked across the United States and Europe to Russia on real-life, Survivor-like projects. This is the inside story of one of those break-down-the-walls projects during the height of the 1980s Cold War by a journalist trained to be as objective as possible. The walk was covered by more than 2,000 newspapers and other media outlets. The participants met officials in all countries, including Russia, in an effort to get them to reverse the arms race and work together for the good of humanity. The book details the sometimes intense internal conflicts of this project and others. The book covers the dangers that included one participant of a 1987-88 march in India being hit by a bus and almost dying. It is a timeless story of not just trying to walk through barriers like the Berlin Wall, but of attempting to break through internal walls, unseen walls between fellow human beings, walls between one's self. "Have feet, speak Truth" is a shorter, earlier version of "Walking through the Wall" by the same author. "...A courageous story....You have made an important contribution to the cause of peace." -- Robert Ellsberg, Orbis Books, Maryknoll, NY "Yours is a fine mission, and I send you every encouragement as you walk across our great nation for the cause of peace and understanding among all peoples." -- former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, Atlanta, GA
