What are the psychological and social implications of the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp as observed from the periphery of the protest? Caroline Blackwood, an established journalist and writer, utilizes her observational skills to document the lives and motivations of the women protesting nuclear weapons at the Greenham Common airbase. The text functions as a sociological study, examining the friction between the protesters and the surrounding community, as well as the internal dynamics of the camp itself.

The work provides a focused, journalistic examination of a pivotal moment in British protest history. Its perspective is characterized by a detached, observant tone that prioritizes the lived experience of the subjects over political polemics.
