ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a case history of Jerry White. He had traveled a long way since 1984 when he stepped on a landmine left over from the 1967 Arab-Israeli War and lost his lower right leg. He had founded, with Ken Rutherford, the Landmine Survivors Network, which helped organize the International Campaign to Ban Landmines. For its work, the International Campaign to Ban Landmines shared the 1997 Nobel Prize, with Jerry being one of the Prize recipients. By the time Jerry was celebrating the Nobel in Oslo, he had become a father, traveled the world, and resumed a physically active lifestyle including playing tennis and downhill skiing. Yet he still hadn't mastered the essence of a movement.
