In his own words, the story of Staff Sergeant Mejia, who was convicted of desertion when he refused to return to serve in Iraq.
In his own words, the fascinating and moving story of Staff Sergeant Mejia, who became the face of the anti-war movement in 2003 when he refused to return to serve in Iraq. Mejia was convicted of desertion and imprisoned, prompting Amnesty International to declare him a prisoner of conscience. It is a no-holds barred description of life as a soldier in Iraq and is unashamedly anti-war. Mejia draws much of his motivation as a conscientious objector from Catholic teachings and the book is one of the few out there to represent the religious anti-war viewpoint.

Camilo Mejia grew up in Nicaragua and Costa Rica before moving to the United States in 1994. He joined the military at age nineteen, serving as an infantryman for three years in the active duty Army, then transferring to the Florida National Guard. He fought in Iraq for five months.
