From Yale to Jail: The Life Story of a Moral Dissenter
David Dellinger

The son of a well-to-do Boston lawyer, David Dellinger seemed cut out for a distinguished career in law or government. Instead, he lived among the poor in Newark, was bloodied in the freedom marches through the South, and led countless hunger strikes in jail. Dave's memoirs shed new light on many of the crucial events of the 1960s. His inside account of what happened in those years, and of the people who shaped that decade — Martin Luther King, Jr., Abbie Hoffman, Bayard Rustin, A.J.Muste, Dorothy Day, Jerry Rubin, Joan Baez, and many more — is an indispensible chapter in the story of our time.
