Fighting the Lamb's War: Skirmishes with the American Empire
"A Christian who truly walks the radical way of the cross. Phil Berrigan overturns the tables of injustice and summons us to our enemies and worship the god of peace. Like Thoreau, Ghandi, King and Dorothy Day, Phil Berrigan exemplifies courage. He is both an inspiration and a challenge to me and countless others. Here is a true hero of our turbulent times." --Martin Sheen "I have been waiting for Phil Berrigan’s autobiography, and it is a pleasure to read because his words have the direct, simple eloquence of his actions. He provokes and inspires us, and dares to be critical of himself even as he recounts the adventures of a life committed to peace, justice and community." --Howard Zinn "It is difficult to be dispassionate about the Berrigans. No one who knows them can doubt that they are heroic individuals, willing to do what many realize should be done, regardless of the personal cost, with a simplicity of manner and a commitment to the principle that can only inspire the deepest respect. There are not too many people of whom this can honesty be said." --Noam Chomsky |
