Conscience at War: The Israeli Soldier As a Moral Critic (S U N Y Series in Israeli Studies) - Tapa blanda

"Ruth Linn provides a fascinating account of conscientious objection in the Israeli army during the Lebanese war and the Intifada. Working from interviews with the 'refusers, ' and quoting extensively, she probes for their motives and justifications and so provides a moral psychology of military dissent (and perhaps of dissent in general)." -- Michael Walzer, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton University

"...an original, daring and necessary study of a major sore on the Israeli body politic: conscientious objection." -- Studies in Contemporary Jewry

"This book connects extremely well real-life political events with theoretical concepts and research methodology. The integration of interview and test material, newspaper clips and socio-psychological theory, is outstanding." -- Amia Lieblich, author of Transition to Adulthood During Military Service: The Israeli Case

"This book is original and will generate much interest among people in a variety of disciplines, including philosophy and political science. The perspective on the Israeli army is unique." -- Ilan Peleg, Lafayette College
