AB "Who were the Camden 28, and how did they shake the political, religious, and moral foundations of American society? This passionate group of grassroots religious left-wingers resisted both their church and their government as they crusaded against the Vietnam War. Though they were arrested while indisputably raiding a draft board, a jury refused to convict them-making them made them an inspiration for today's moral reformers of institutions like prisons and the Catholic Church. Yet the group's dynamics also illuminate the power relations and racial and sexual inequalities that persist within resistance movements. This is a complex portrait of where resistance comes from, what it means, how it spreads-via doctrine, shared politics, or friendship-and how it sometimes leads to justice"--
