Thich Nhat Hanh was a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, who was famous for his commitment to non-violent activism. During the Vietnam War, he was imprisoned, tortured, and eventually forced into exile. He only returned to Vietnam in the 2000s, after living in the USA for many years, where he became friends with Martin Luther King, and also several years in France. He wrote three books on the history of Buddhism in Vietnam, and poems that have been translated into many languages.
