Beschreibung:
Dr. Robert Coles was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his five-volume Children of Crisis series. He is professor of Psychiatry and Medical Humanities at Harvard Medical School and James Agee Professor of Social Ethics at Harvard University. Winner of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, our highest civilian honor, he is also the author of many books.
More than thirty years ago, at the height of U.S. involvement in Vietnam, Father Daniel Berrigan, a Jesuit priest, was wanted by the FBI. He hid in the house of Robert Coles, who would later win the Pulitzer Prize. Their conversations would encompass a fascinating range of topics: violence, social institutions, compassion, activism, family life -- all in the context of the authors' shared faith, both in God and in the possibility of change.
