Deserter from Violence: experiments with Gandhi's truth.
NY, Philosophical Library, (1984). VG PB. 75 yr old religious peace activist Zahn tells of his problems in putting Gandhian nonviolence into daily practice in his. revolutionary life. Raised a Christian Scientist & now a Quaker, Zahn strove to become God-centered with his own versions of twice-daily meditation, celibacy, vegetarianism & voluntary poverty.

He sailed into a forbidden nuclear test zone in the Pacific, organized a taxpayer's suit challenging the Vietnam war's tax on telephone service, was in a "symbolic blockage" of a munitions ship, etc.
