Non-Fiction Memoir
Staff Sergeant Camilo Meja became the new face of the
antiwar movement when he applied for discharge from the army
as a conscientious objector. After serving in the army
for nearly nine years, he was the first known Iraq veteran
to refuse to fight, citing moral concerns about the war and
the US occupation. His principled stand helped rally the
growing opposition and embolden other soldiers. Meja
was eventually convicted of desertion by a military court
and sentenced to a year in prison, prompting Amnesty
International to declare him a prisoner of conscience. Here
Meja tells his own story, from his upbringing in Central
America to his service in Iraq-where he witnessed prisoner
abuse-to his struggle today to end the occupation
there. In this stirring book, he argues passionately
for the end to an unjust war. As New York Times
columnist Bob Herbert writes, "The issues [Meja] has raised
deserve a close reading by the nation as a whole. . . . He
has made a contribution to the truth about
Iraq." Includes a new afterword by the author.
