Fighting the Lamb's War: Skirmishes with the American Empire : the Autobiography of Philip BerriganConscience and Empire is the story of a Catholic priest who loves his church enough to expose its hypocrisy--a man of God who challenges his own religion to practice what it preaches. It is the story of a former soldier who has spent years in prison for his opposition to war. Philip Berrigan is passionately loved, and greatly hated. Six-times nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, he has established his place in history. |
