On Spokesman's A Pacifist at War , edited by Nicholas Griffin, Satish Kumar says: The book clearly charts the journey Russell is on - the journey opposing the war and searching for love. This search continued throughout his life. In 1961 he led the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, which also led him to a brief imprisonment when he was almost 90. I was 25, a young man sitting in a cafe in Bangalore, India, reading about it. I thought, "Here is a man of 90 going to jail for peace in the world. What am I doing here drinking coffee?" His full review, which appeared in Resurgence & Ecologist magazine issue 290, is available here.
