Educator Tom Weiner has spent decades thinking about the
fateful choice that affected young men of his generation, and those
close to them: what to do about the draft. The result is Called to Serve: Stories of Men and Women Confronted by the Vietnam War Draft. This book, published locally by Levellers Press, is the fruit of
years of extensive interviews with people who made different choices
among the available options: to serve, to resist, to leave the country,
to become a conscientious objector, or to find a way around the draft
altogether. This book will resonate with many of us who lived through
that era, and illuminate that time for those born afterward.
