While Daniel Holland’s memoir details his involvement in the
draft resistance movement of the 1960s, the impetus to share his
story now comes from the dangerous new president and congress that
have taken control of the United States and threaten to plunge our
nation into war. People of age to fight in today's conflicts were
not yet born when the lessons of Vietnam were being learned, so
this book may serve as a guide to the decisions they face in this
contemporary, volatile world. Holland alternates chapters about the
breaking news of the time with personal memories and reflections on
his own coming of age, portraying a growing consciousness and an
evolution of youthful naivete into committed antiwar activism. Then
his focus turns to the legal adventures that follow: indictment,
arrest, arraignment, defending himself at trial, and sentencing.
Holland also shares episodes of draft board raids, secret rooms,
and the day-to-day responsibilities of a full-time activist. He
follows a surprise ending with a thoughtful afterword contemplating
our personal responsibilities for peace.
