'The book provides a detailed account of the activity of the non-stop picket, from the comparatively large-scale or spectacular events,to the “mundane, possibly boring, aspects of political activism. Part of the importance of Youth Activism and Solidarity is that the care and detail with which the non-stop picket is recounted gives those of us who were not there a real sense of what it was like, allowing us to learn some of the lessons of that campaign and, hopefully, to more effectively and equitably organise solidarity in new contexts.'Diarmaid Kelliher, Antipode, January 2018
