"Ronit Chacham's exemplary oral history and commentaries portray in depressing yet hopeful detail those courageous and principled Israelis who have refused to participate as soldiers in Israel's occupied Palestinian lands.... An end to the bitter civil war may not be in sight, but at least we have these remarkable men to prove that war and killing never brings peace and that some are brave enough to say 'No.'"
