I Refuse includes nine chapters, an Afterword and an Appendix that detail the author's struggles as a conscientious objector and exile during the Vietnam era.

Work Description

Set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, this book details the author's attempts to obtain recognition as a conscientious objector from the Selective Service System. After being unjustly denied conscientious objector status, the author refused to enter the military, was convicted of violating federal law, left the country and lived in exile for six years.
