Marked for Life tells the story of Hildegard Goss-Mayr, an Austrian Catholic pioneer in teaching the philosophy and practice of nonviolence amidst great historical events of the past half century - World War II, the Cold War, revolutionary struggles against colonialism and dictatorship, the Second Vatican Council, breakthroughs in interfaith understanding and collaboration, and resistance to the arms race. Hers is the authentic, nonviolent life.
