Memoir. In Canada, in the 1980s, Ann Hansen stood trial as one of the so-called "Squamish Five," a group of "urban guerillas" convicted of bombing the Litton Systems plant in Toronto, where components for Cruise Missiles were being made. Using the burgeoning political counter-culture of the 1980s as a backdrop and reference point, Hansen tells her story, and effectively mirrors the resurgence of militant anti-globalization protests around the world. "Whether you agree with their tactics or not, Hansen's story is one that needs to be told. Read this book and debate the issues"-Jen Chang and Darryl Leroux, co-editors of "RESIST! Grassroots Protests in Quebec City and Beyond."
