Disarmed & Dangerous
Murray Polner & Jim O'Grady

What transformed Daniel and Philip Berrigan from conventional Roman Catholic priests into "holy outlaws" — for a time the two most wanted men of J. Edgar Hoover's FBI? . . . Disarmed and Dangerous is a fascinating study of brothers linked by faith and the dreams of peace and social justice in a century bloodied by war, mass murders, and weapons of immense destructive power. It is, above all, an original contribution to modern American history that is sure to be widely read and discussed.

Disciples & Dissidents: Prison Writings of the Prince of Peace Plowshares
Edited by Fred Wilcox

On Ash Wednesday 1997, six activists boarded the USS The Sullivans, a nuclear-capable Aegis destroyer built at Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine. The group pounded on the ship with hammers, poured out their own blood, and were arrested by sailors. Calling Philip Berrigan "a moral giant" and the "conscience of a generation," a state judge refused to jail them. However, a federal judge convicted them of conspiracy and damaging government property.

This book is a collection of the group's statements on the action and at trial, and their prison writings.
