His first encounter with the New Left came during the Oakland Induction Center riots of 1967, when he "saw the brutality perpetrated against the demonstrators and thought it unjust. It was then that I began seeing myself as a violent revolutionary." From a follower to a leader was a short step: he helped organize an antidraft demonstration in April 1968. It was "a pathetic flop.

Yet he traces the concept of military law to ancient human usage, to residual religious and moral restraint, to St. Augustine's first definition of just and unjust war, and to the irreducible pinch of practical sense, decency and self-interest that hold human societies together...
