"26 Weekends in County Jail: A Quaker Journal of Resistance" - by Joseph Olejak. A spiritual and political memoir detailing the repercussions from conflicts between personal morals and American cultural values fueled by the military industrial complex.
Joseph Olejak is a convinced Quaker who chose not to participate in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan by willfully refusing to pay income tax. Having come to the understanding that there is that of God in all people, it became impossible to lend support for the Middle East wars by paying income tax.
