Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, a group of Catholic activists, including the Berrigan brothers, staged a dramatic protest by burning draft records, leading to their arrest and trial. This event sparked a profound exploration of the tensions between personal conscience and societal laws. Dan Berrigan's account, derived from court transcripts, highlights themes of morality, justice, and activism. The new edition features updated commentary that connects these issues to contemporary conflicts, making it a relevant and powerful examination of moral integrity in the face of war.
