Never directly countable, U.S. Vietnam War resisters in Canada became a magnet for numbers and an extension of society's battleground over the war. This study offers context and perspective, and arrives at a carefully qualified conclusion that should never be simplified to a single number. Three earlier studies receive detailed scrutiny both as sets of statistics and as narratives. An original calculation builds on extensive data from contemporary newspaper accounts. Ten statistical tables organize figures from a variety of official Canadian sources. Selected personal histories illustrate qualitative categories that lie beyond any enumeration. ISBN 0-9737641-0-4
