ABSTRACT Usually recalled through historical events and the stories of leaders, The Sixties also encompassed activism by “rank-and-filers,” ordinary people who found the start of their adult lives upended by the senseless Vietnam War. That tragedy depended on the escalation of the racist and class-divisive “peacetime” military draft system. Former draft resister, Paul Kleyman, now a grandfather of 75, tells his story of refusing Army induction in 1968, and being tried and convicted in US federal court. His story explores the depth of self-examination such turmoil can force on a nation’s youth. And it exposes that standing for peace may profoundly affect those who judge, while also strengthening one’s sense of purpose and service.

我们的背页：与六十年代的对话我的抵抗：为争取和平而接受审判

摘要 通常通过历史事件和领导人的故事来回忆，60 年代还包括“普通人”的激进主义，他们发现他们成年生活的开始被毫无意义的越南战争颠覆了。这场悲剧取决于种族主义和阶级分裂的“和平时期”军事征兵制度的升级。前抗征兵保罗·克莱曼 (Paul Kleyman) 现在是 75 岁的祖父，他讲述了他在 1968 年拒绝入伍并在美国联邦法院受审并被定罪的故事。他的故事探讨了这种动荡可能对一个国家的年轻人施加的自我反省的深度。它揭示了支持和平可能会深刻地影响那些判断力的人，同时也会加强一个人的使命感和服务意识。
