Abstract
How does a young person who volunteers to serve in the US military become a war resister who risks ostracism, humiliation and prison rather than fight? Although it is not well publicised, the long tradition of refusing to fight in unjust wars continues today within the US military. About Face gives voice to some of these resisters, who describe in their own words the process they went through - from raw recruits to brave refusers. Also featured are exclusive interviews with Noam Chomsky and Daniel Ellsberg.
