Iggy O’Donovan OSA notes…

In 1982/83 widespread demonstrations against nuclear proliferation took place all over Europe. At the time the United States were deploying a new generation of intercontinental ballistic missiles. A group of young Augustinians in Rome became members of a peace group Agostiniani per la Pace. This photo from 1983 shows a section of our group at an anti-war demo in Rome. On the right you will notice a young serious Bob Prevost. His anti-war credentials are well established.
