Religion and War Resistance in the Plowshares Movement - Sharon Erickson (University of Southern Maine) Nepstad - Bog

As the nuclear arms race exploded in the 1980s, a group of U.S. religious pacifists known as the Plowshares movement used radical nonviolence to intervene. Nepstad documents the emergence and diffusion of this international movement and explains why some of these Plowshares groups have persisted while others have collapsed.
