Philip Berrigan, A Punishment for Peace. New York: Ballantine, 1969. Philip Berrigan, a Catholic priest of the Josephite order, younger brother of Daniel Berrigan, was arrested October 27, 1967 when and three others poured blood on the records of a draft board in Baltimore. While awaiting trial, he led a larger group of Catholic leftists, including his brother Daniel, in burning draft records (in the presence of reporters alerted in advance) at the draft board in Catonsville, Ohio, on May 17, 1968. All of the "Catonsville 9" were convicted, and given sentences ranging from two to three years.

The Camden 28 Newsletter. The "Camden 28" were a group of Catholic antiwar activists who were arrested, I believe for breaking into a draft board, in Camden, New Jersey, in 1971. At their trial, the judge seems to have allowed more latitude to the defense than was the case in some other trials. The very short newsletter (two pages per issue) was established to recount events in their trial and drum up support for them. Some issues have been placed on-line in the Virtual Vietnam Archive of the Vietnam Project, at Texas Tech University.

David Miller, I Didn't Know God Made Honky Tonk Communists. Regent Press, 2001. 331 pp. Miller publicly burned his draft card on October 15, 1965, apparently the first person to do so after passage of the law that made this a crime. He was imprisoned. Judging by the description I have seen of this memoir, it is a bit strange.
