Settje's analysis is noteworthy for three reasons. First, while he sensibly identifies divisions between conservative and liberal American Christians he realises that such categories are imperfect. There was in-fighting across the religious board and when it came to adjudicating the Vietnam War, some members of some churches bucked the prevailing interpretative trend... this magnificent book leaves us in no doubt that there was some significant shaping going on. - Jonathan Wright, Catholic Herald, February 24th 2012

<p> A patient and clear exploration of religious ambivalence. David Settje is an intrepid researcher, and a trustworthy narrator. This book is a most welcome addition to our understanding of the violent and peace-making legacies of Christian participation in the U.S. during a particularly contentious period.
