520 1 $a"Road from ar Ramadi by Camilo Mejia is the story of one of the first publicly known conscientious objectors of the Iraq war - a soldier brave enough to face jail rather than continue to fight for what he believed was an unjust cause." "Staff Sergeant Camilo Mejia became the face of the antiwar movement in early 2004 when he applied for a discharge from the National Guard as a conscientious objector. After five months of frontline combat in Iraq, he became the first American soldier to refuse to fight, citing moral concerns about the war and occupation. His principled stand helped to rally the growing opposition and embolden his fellow soldiers. Although his CO case remains open to this day, Mejia was charged with desertion and served almost nine months in jail after his conviction in a military trial." "From his upbringing in Central America and his experiences as a working-class immigrant to his service in Iraq up to his imprisonment (which prompted Amnesty International to declare him a prisoner of conscience), Road from ar Ramadi gives us an unflinching account of how it felt to be a soldier on the ground in Iraq in the early months of the war."--BOOK JACKET.
