In 1986, at the height of the Cold War, the author joined a group of five hundred people walking from Los Angeles to Washington, DC in an effort to end the nuclear arms race. The memoir includes a narrative based on the journal Monagan kept at the time, plus numerous color photographs of camp life, rallies, and the friendships formed during the trek. Taking advantage of the book-as-blog format, the author also includes several original songs composed while on the road. The underlying theme is the role of civic involvement in democratic society.
