| Résumé : |
On August 4, 1965, thirteen persons were killed while in custody on Grindstone Island in Canada. They died in the course of an experiment in civilian national defense. The experiment was an exercise, carried out under Quaker auspices. Those "killed" are alive today, but they live as chastened men and women. For a few of them died heroically. Most of them died blindly. All of them died needlessly, brought face to face in the hour of their death with the failure of their own deeply-held attitudes and actions. Yet all agree that the Grindstone experiment was a great moment. For some it achieved the level of religious conversion. How did it happen ? What lessons for civilian defense and for human community can be learned from those "Thirty-one hours" ? [Front cover] |
