"A Christian who truly walks the radical way of the cross. Phil
Berrigan overturns the tables of injustice and summons us to love
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
"Few nations in history have had a prophet of Phil Berrigan's
stature. With iron intransigency he has stood in the breach leading
to nuclear omnicide. The state has tried to quash his witness time
after time: arrests, lockups, long sentences, all the paraphenalia
of intimidation. Why doesn't it work? What enables this
jack-in-thebox prophet to pop up, again and again? Find out. Read
this book."-Walter Wink, author, "Engaging the Powers"
"How important it is for our children to know this history of
courage, risk, and commitment that they won't find in history
books." -Grace Paley
"I have been waiting for Phil Berrigan's autobiography and it is
a pleasure to read. His words have the direct, simple eloquence of
his actions. He provokes and inspires, and dares to be critical of
himself even as he recounts a life committed to peace, justice and
community." -Howard Zinn
"One of the best books I have ever read. I loved its honest
probing of the thoughts, feelings and actions of an unusually
sensitive, occasionally wrong-headed, but clearly not
self-righteous pioneer in the struggle for a better world. Its
acute analyses of of the periods in which Phil have lived, from
before World War II to the present, are invaluable contributions to
real history." -David Dellinger, author, "From Yale to Jail"
"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...There are not too many people of whom this can honestly be
said."-Noam Chomsky
