520 "A fascinating portrait of two men whose lives seem to
have been forgotten by most Americans, with our fake news,
short attention spans, and "crisis of the day" mentality.
The author clearly admires the Berrigans but gives time to
opposing viewpoints and acknowledges that the Berrigan
brothers were sometimes troubled by doubt and self-
righteousness. Still, the dedication Daniel and Philip
Berrigan demonstrated to the subject of global peace is
worth remembering and being inspired by. One passage, in
particular, stood out for me - speaking of Phil Berrigan's
opposition to the Vietnam War, the author writes, "His
anger about the killing affected his every waking moment."
It is that tireless dedication that impressed me the most
about the Berrigans. Despite harsh criticism, harassment
from authorities, and much harsher sentences than were
typical for their acts of protest, the Berrigans never
wavered in their commitment to peace. And even, late in
life, when they acknowledged they would probably not be
able to change the world, they remained committed to doing
what was right simply because it was right. We live in a
world obsessed with goals, returns, and rewards. Maybe if
we all focused more on doing good just because it is good,
we might actually achieve peace in our time."--Goodreads
