As a result of his refusal to fight, he was sent to Alcatraz, and even after the war ended, he was kept imprisoned. This booklet, first published in the 1930s, is his account of his experiences in prison, and is a horrifying expose of official brutality in the worlds most notorious prison. Bit is is also a powerful account of resistance and endurance........
