{"product_id":"peace-crimes-kieran-finnane-9780702260445","title":"Peace Crimes: Pine Gap, National Security and Dissent","description":"At the closely guarded and secretive military facility, Pine Gap in Australia's Northern Territory, police arrest six nonviolent activists. Their crime: to step through a fence, lamenting and praying for the dead of war. They 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, \u003ci\u003eAlice Springs \u003c\/i\u003ejournalist 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. She asks, what responsibilities do we have as Australians for the covert military operations of Pine Gap and what are we going to do about them?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kieran Finnane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0702260444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780702260445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Queensland Pr (Australia)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Kieran Finnane","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086776021247,"sku":"9780702260445","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ade04f1c-240c-4516-9b38-acec2d4bf07a.jpg?v=1769096506","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/peace-crimes-kieran-finnane-9780702260445","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
