NightmarchNightmarch

Anthropologist Alpa Shah found herself in an active platoon of Naxalites--one of the longest-running guerrilla insurgencies in the world. The only woman, and the only person without a weapon, she walked alongside the militants for seven nights across 150 miles of dense, hilly forests in eastern India. Nightmarch, grounded in Shah's years of living with India's tribal people, is the riveting story of her journey, an eye-opening exploration of the movement's history and future, and a powerful contemplation of how disadvantaged people fight back against unjust systems in today's world.
