      The decision to go to war is the most momentous action an American president can take. Sending young men and women into combat weighs heavily on the Commander in Chief, as it does on the Congress, which must authorize war. This book is about seven courageous public figures. Each voted against going to war. One was a Secretary of state. Two were members of the House of Representatives, Three were in the United States Senate. All faced severe criticism from their colleagues and the public for voting their conscience. All were called traitors. Attempts were made to oust them from their elected positions. All stood firm in their dissent. Their stories are worth knowing.
