Their crime: to step through a fence, lamenting and praying for the dead of war.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThey call themselves Peace Pilgrims. The Crown calls them a threat to national security and demands gaol time. Their political trials, under harsh Cold War legislation, tell a story of obsessive Australian secrecy about the American military presence on our soil and the state's hardline response to dissent. In \u003ci\u003ePeace Crimes\u003c\/i\u003e, Alice Springs journalist Kieran Finnane gives a gripping account of what prompts the Pilgrims to risk so much, interweaving local events and their legal aftermath with this century's disturbing themes of international conflict and high-tech war.
