Industry Reviews

"Linked Arms offers some important information to its readers in an uncommonly convincing way: the true story. The issue of nuclear power and nuclear waste disposal is a crucial topic in itself, but the subject of citizen and community activism is the real issue being presented here, and its importance is even greater than the specific issue around which it centers. It is the story of people making a difference, 'doing' democracy, if you will, working unbelievably hard, but knowing the exhilaration of work done in collaboration with neighbors, friends, and others who share the bond of caring for one another and their place. This is a model for the way we need to be working with one another in any venue, no matter the particular struggle." - Virginia W. Rasmussen, The Program on Corporations, Law and Democracy

"This is an important documentation that nonviolence can be effective when citizens confront a major threat to themselves and their environment. It also demonstrates that a large and heterogeneous group of citizens can make important decisions through the consensus procedure without formal hierarchies of power." - Roland Warren, coeditor of New Perspectives on the American Community
