Above is the artwork for my latest audio narration of a book called Left Field: The Memoir of a Lifelong Activist. Which should appeal to anyone interested in left wing politics, travel, Charity (specifically War Child) and the war in the former Yugoslavia or who enjoys good contemporary autobiography. A flavour of what David Wilson is about can be got from an article he published recently in The Guardian on being a whistleblower (which is covered in the book) and this is available online at https://www.theguardian.com/voluntary-sector-network/2017/apr/10/whistleblower-war-child-need-anonymity-corruption
Below is the publishers blurb for the book:
David Wilson has been a gaucho, a teacher, an artist's agent, a documentary filmmaker, and playwright, but above all, he has been a lifelong political activist. In the 60s he marched to Aldermaston. In the 70s he protested against the Vietnam War and apartheid. In the 80s, with the Lesbian and Gay Liberation Front, he delivered food to striking miners. More recently, he has been active in the anti-war movement.
As the cofounder of War Child, he was instrumental in bringing a mobile bakery into war-torn Bosnia. In 1995 the charity gained prominence with the release of the Help album. Contributors included David Bowie, Brian Eno, Paul McCartney, and Sinéad O'Connor. Help captured the world's attention and brought the healing power of music to young people whose lives had been devastated by war.
Left Field is an engaging and humorous memoir which will inspire not only Wilson's generation, but also today's young people who are campaigning for a better, fairer world.
The audiobook is available for download as ever from Audible, Amazon and iTunes

Hello, I'm writing to you directly after e-mailing WAR Child UK in hopes to aid English speaking children online who have lost loved ones due to war. Why isn't there such a system and I denied? I've a B.A. in Literature/Writing and I'm a certified literacy teacher, teaching dyslexics for twelve years. Thank you.
