What would you sacrifice to follow your conscience?
In 1969, as the Vietnam War escalates and a nation divides, a young man faces the hardest decision of his life.
Bruce Wasser, a Princeton student with a promising future, receives a draft number that makes becoming a soldier a near certainty. While others debate war in lecture halls, Bruce is thrust into a personal battle—should he fight in a war he believes is unjust, or risk everything by standing as a conscientious objector?
90: A Conscientious Objector’s Journey of Quiet Resistance is a gripping memoir of moral courage and quiet defiance. Told through Bruce's deeply personal lens, this coming-of-age story explores themes of identity, integrity, and the high cost of staying true to one’s values.
This memoir transports readers to a turbulent time in American history, offering a rare inside view of the conscientious objector process and the quiet heroism of those who refused to pick up arms. It is a moving reminder that resistance doesn’t always roar—it can whisper, persist, and prevail.
“A passionate record of a life well lived… a rocky and admirable tale of a man who faced hardship and doubt and emerged with a firm sense of self.”
—Martin Duberman, historian & author
Perfect for fans of Vietnam War memoirs, historical non-fiction, and stories of social justice, 90 is a powerful testament to the quiet strength it takes to live in alignment with your beliefs. Pick up your copy today.
