War Resisters: Standing Against the Vietnam War by my friend Joline Martin is a nonfiction collection that highlights the personal stories of American Vietnam War resisters who left the United States to settle on Vancouver Island, Canada. Through interviews and narrative, Martin explores the courage and challenges these individuals faced when they chose to oppose the draft and the war, sacrificing their homes, communities, and often any hope of returning. Blending historical context with firsthand accounts, the book paints a vivid picture of how these resisters integrated into Canadian society, contributed as farmers, teachers, and caregivers, and helped shape their new communities. It also challenges common assumptions about what it meant to resist the Vietnam War and honors the legacy of this often overlooked group in history.
