Paul Hawken recounts his intense experiences on November 30th, 1999 in Seattle. As a peaceful protester, one does not expect to be assailed with tear gas, pepper spray and plastic bullets, but well-trained anonymous police forces used these tactics and worse in an attempt to control the crowd. A fitting analogy for the WTO's global agenda and policies, these faceless tyrants assaulted activists, delegates and innocent bystanders in an attempt to "maintain order". Paul's writings accurately display the emotions of fear, panic, and resolve of participants who weathered the onslaught to fight peacefully for a different, more equitable world.
