Summary

More than thirty years ago, at the height of U.S. involvement in Vietnam, Father Daniel Berrigan, a Jesuit priest, was wanted by the FBI. He hid in the house of Robert Coles, who would later win the Pulitzer Prize. Their conversations would encompass a fascinating range of topics: violence, social institutions, compassion, activism, family life -- all in the context of the authors' shared faith, both in God and in the possibility of change.

In this expanded, anniversary edition, Robert Coles sets the conversations in their historical perspective and assesses the progress of faith-based activism in the past three decades. Daniel Berrigan challenges today's activists in a new afterword.
