In this gripping, no-f*cks-given memoir, John Feal and co-author Charles Daly tell the story of a reluctant real-life superhero who took on Congress and won.

John Feal's destiny was forged by steel when an 8,000-pound beam landed on his foot during the cleanup at Ground Zero. Recovery from the wound and subsequent gangrene was slow and agonizing.

As John learned to live with partial amputation and a head full of trauma, he watched his fellow 9/11 responders suffer and die from cancer and other ailments linked to the dust at Ground Zero.
They were told the air was safe.
They trusted the healthcare system.
They were forgotten by lawmakers who had promised to #NeverForget.

With the help of an A-lister turned sidekick and friend, The Daily Show host Jon Stewart, Feal organized a gonzo grassroots lobbying effort that fought relentlessly for two decades to pass and defend the 9/11 healthcare bill.

He has gone on to mentor a new generation of activists--on issues ranging from burn pits to puppy mills--in this DIY, profanity-laced approach to the ground game of representative government.

This is a manual for activists and a portable memorial to the 9/11 responders who spoke truth to power with their dying breath.
