For Indians of Southern California it ranged from escape when possible to violence and assassination when forced. Acts of civil disobedience incorporated blocking roads to blocking legislation. They lobbied in the halls of Congress and argued in courtrooms while they struggled to secure their lands, natural resources and respect for themselves and their way of life. Whether with guns or law books they fought for the rights guaranteed through treaties which were so callously discarded by indifferent or hostile federal and state governments. However, they never surrendered their beliefs or their homes easily to the Euro-American invaders of their land. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExtensive sections of this abridged second edition appeared earlier in the book, \u003ci\u003eThis War is for a Whole Life: The Culture of Resistance Among Indians of Southern California, 1850-1966, \u003c\/i\u003epublished in 2012 by Ushkana Press of Banning, California\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e New information has been added to certain key figures in the book.
