Soldiers of Conscience
Can American soldiers be ordered to participate in military actions which they believe are morally wrong?
Japanese American World War II military resisters and a diverse number of American Iraq War resisters were punished by military authorities for their answers to this question.
Dr. Shirley Castelnuovo will talk about her new book, Soldiers of Conscience: Japanese American Military Resisters in World War II, which explores this question and be available for book signing. Dr. Castelnuovo will also moderate a conversation with Iraq military resisters and World War II Japanese American military resister, Cedrick Shimo.
