"Ruth Linn provides a fascinating account of conscientious objection in the Israeli army during the Lebanese war and the Intifada. Working from interviews with the 'refusers,' and quoting extensively, she probes for their motives and justifications and so provides a moral psychology of military dissent (and perhaps of dissent in general)." — Michael Walzer, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton University"…an original, daring and necessary study of a major sore on the Israeli body politic: conscientious objection." — Studies in Contemporary Jewry"This book connects extremely well real-life political events with theoretical concepts and research methodology.
