Let There Be Peace! - True Stories from Peace Activists

"This is a book that defies categorisation. Let there be Peace is more than a collection of stories about workcamps and volunteering although the reader gets an intimate view into the experiences of anyone who forgoes the nine-to-five predictability of the West for what some call the 'developing' world. They also take the reader into unexpected places: the Middle East or apartheid-era South Africa. Furthermore, simple stories are augmented by letters and emails that chart the progress of the newcomer along with highly personalised musings by the author on the wider context of peace activism and volunteering. Let there be Peace is a book like no other." Tom Farrel, Freelance Journalist from Ireland
