Interesting subject matter but the book was just okay.
bowienerd_82's review against another edition
2.0
The subjects: fascinating. The book: not great. The two authors did not collaborate enough, and the book was poorly edited. The authors were constantly swapping tenses, sometimes even within the clauses of a single sentence. I recognize that the Berrigan brothers were still alive at the time of writing, but that does not excuse the constant shifting.
Additionally, they jumped around in time unnecessarily, lingered too long on unimportant details, and rushed through or skipped over important ones. There was a whole chapter on the Berrigan ancestral history, but Daniel Berrigan's work ministering to AIDS patients got a single paragraph. Uneven, at times frustrating, and not a book that does a good job at taking the longer view.
