Explores the actions of the radical Roman Catholic antinuclear activist group Plowshares. Focuses on the closely interwoven religious and social significance of the group's actions and subsequent legal trials, which rely on performances of moral distinction to achieve the activists’ aims.

Index

“For a topic like this, hearing both from the activists themselves and from those who study them is essential. I am hopeful that by teaching all or parts of this book to students, college instructors will close the impasse between activists and the academy. To this end, Plowshares has done a great service.”
