Conscience at War by Ruth Linn
Linn uses the theories of Rawls, Walzer, Kohlberg, and Gilligan as a framework for understanding and interpreting interviews with objecting soldiers. By this means, she seeks to answer such questions as: How would various groups of objecting soldiers justify their specific choice of action? What are the psychological, moral, and non-moral characteristics of those individuals who decided to be, or refused to be, patriotic? And how did the Intifada, as a limited yet morally problematic military conflict, affect the moral thinking, emotions, and moral language of long term soldiers?-

Critical Essays on Israeli Social Issues and Scholarship
"Ruth Linn provides a fascinating account of conscientious objection in the Israeli army during the Lebanese war and the IntifadaWorking 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
