The soldiers, whose pride had been shattered by the 1971 defeat, once again found themselves taunted and reviled by demonstrators for supporting an unpopular government. "Zia, Zia, be-hiya [Zia, Zia, shameless]!" became a popular slogan against the army leader.

For months, the Clamshell Alliance, a Portsmouth-based organization founded by New England antinuclear groups, had been planning its strategy and training volunteers in the techniques of nonviolent resistance. Then the alliance marshaled its forces and took the offensive. As the main body of slogan-chanting demonstrators converged on the main gate of the Seabrook site, another group advanced on the area across a salt marsh. A third force arrived in boats piloted by local lobster-men-who fear that the discharge from the plant would cut their catches-and waded ashore. By the evening of the first...
