Summary

Distributed by the University of Nebraska Press for the University of Idaho Press
A thoughtful book about the importance of speaking out on behalf of human rights, Common Courage grew out of the last public interviews with noted Northwest human rights activist and former Catholic priest Bill Wassmuth. Author Andrea Vogt chronicles Wassmuth's fascinating life story - from Idaho farmboy to nationally known human rights activist.
