Event Details

This document appears to be a page from a book draft or manuscript (likely by Alan Dershowitz, given the style and content) discussing the political shift of the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) and the 'hard left' during the 1960s and 70s. It details the author's break with the NLG after it shifted from a liberal human rights organization to a radical leftist group that criticized Israel and supported regimes like Pol Pot's Cambodia. The text specifically highlights anti-Israel rhetoric from Father Daniel Berrigan in 1973 and the takeover of the NLG at the 1971 Boulder convention.
