With humility, deep insight, & poetic sensitivity of perception & expression, Berrigan gives the story of his life. He describes his early years as the 5th of six sons, his entrance into the Jesuits, his growing social activism while a chaplain at Cornell, his sacrifice of security & freedom to protest the Vietnam War in an act of civil disobedience, his further civil disobedience as a fugitive, & finally his increasing sensitivity to gay liberation & to AIDS. The biography illustrates the development of personal conscience & integrity, & especially the roles his mother & younger brother played in that development. Highly recommended.—Carolyn M. Craft, Longwood College, Farmville, VA
