Crossing the Line: Nonviolent Resisters Speak Out for Peace
For anyone who thinks the antiwar movement ended with the Vietnam War, this collection of lively and provocative interviews with pacifist direct actionists proves otherwise, highlighting the important relationship between nonviolent civil disobedience and the work of peace and justice from the 1970s and '80s through today. It's a welcome addition to any activist's or social movement scholar's bookshelf.--Marian Mollin, author ofRadical Pacifism in Modern America: Egalitarianism and ProtestIn her book, ''Crossing the Line: Nonviolent Resisters Speak Out for Peace'' (Cascade Books, 2013) Rosalie Riegle chronicles the action-to-court-to-jail-and-prison journeys of some of the last century's most committed pacifists...Perhaps Riegle's well-done compilation of 65 oral histories will prompt more people to step into the fray.--Patrick O Neil, from his February 2014 review inSojourners--Wipf and Stock Publishers
