The Strength Not to Fight

James Tollefson imparts an oral history that has the compelling drama of the best fiction. Conscientious objectors tell the stories behind the classification: the depth of their conviction, their efforts to prove sincere opposition in the face of persecution and criminal prosecution, and their feelings today about their actions during the Vietnam War.

James W. Tollefson, a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War, is professor of English at the University of Washington in Seattle
