The case should have been an easy victory for the department—the perpetrators had been caught red-handed attempting to destroy conscription documents for draftees into the Vietnam War. But the results of the trial surprised everyone, and in the process shook the foundations of American law, politics, and religion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eSpiritual Criminals\u003c\/em\u003e, Michelle M. Nickerson shares a complex portrait of the Camden 28, a passionate group of grassroots religious progressives who resisted both their church and their government as they crusaded against the Vietnam War. Founded by priests, nuns, and devout lay Catholics, members of this coalition accepted the risks of felony convictions as the cost of challenging the nation's military-industrial complex and exposing the illegal counterintelligence operations of the FBI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy peeling away the layers of political history, theological traditions, and the Camden 28's personal stories, Nickerson reveals an often-unseen spiritual side of the anti-war movement. At the same time, she probes the fractures within the group, detailing important conflicts over ideology, race, sex, and gender that resonate in the church and on the political Left today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000751571180,"sku":"9780226834382","price":52.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/20572103482268.jpg?v=1763302023"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/michelle-m-nickerson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
