Staughton Lynd Boeken

Exploring an alternative current of American political thought, this book delves into the intellectual roots of American radicalism. It offers a unique perspective on the evolution of political ideas in the United States, highlighting key influences and thinkers that shaped radical movements. The inclusion of a preface by the author provides additional insights and context, enriching the reader's understanding of this significant aspect of American history.

In this thoughtful book culled from a wide range of experiences, Alice and Staughton Lynd introduce readers to what modern clinicians, philosophers, and theologians have attempted to describe as "moral injury." From combat veterans of America's foreign wars to Israeli refuseniks, and from "hardened" criminals in supermax confinement in Ohio to hunger strikers in California's Pelican Bay prison, the Lynds give us the voices of those breaking the cycle of moral injury with courageous acts of nonviolent resistance.
