WHAT would you do if ordered to load military weapons on a ship bound for a country where government soldiers were murdering their own people?

In 1980, San Francisco dockworkers in the ILWU wanted to refuse loading arms bound for the brutal junta in El Salvador, but knew their stand risked heavy fines, a federal takeover of the union, and jail time to the officers.

In this gripping historical novel, author and union officer Herb Mills recounts the heroic efforts of his own union to stop the arms shipment. The names have been changed, but the courage and the daring of the union members are all real, and now their story is finally told.
