It's hard to imagine that an autobiographical detail of a Vietnam War draft dissenter, who chose to be imprisoned rather than fight a senseless war, could be an enjoyable read. However, fans of the 60's and early 70's will appreciate MATTER OF CONSCIENCE. Author Bruce Neckels gives us a picturesque account that is poignantly portrayed with just the right mix of fact, emotion, and humor. The memoir chronicles the life of the author leading up to his incarceration - attending San Francisco State College, the protest movements, choosing a career in acting, then landing his first role in Antonioni's "Zabriskie Point;" studying the history of Vietnam; reading Dalton Trumbo's, "Johnny Got His Gun," then meeting Trumbo and auditioning for a film about "Johnny" - ALL shaping his decision to oppose the Vietnam War.
