    <body><![CDATA[This book is a novelization based on a one-act/one-man play (a monologue really) on the theme of war tax resistance that was developed and performed in 1983 — “The Man Who Stopped Paying.”<br/><br/>On a first, quick read, it seems to be a graceful (if a bit didactic in parts), strange, dream-worldish meditation on the Sword of Damocles anxiety of the nuclear-armed cold war and on personal responsibility.<br/><br/>The author, Bradley Smith, is a Holocaust denier of some notoriety. The play itself refers to the Holocaust in a couple of places, but not in any particularly controversial way.  Either Smith still accepted the mainstream Holocaust history at the time he wrote the play, or he wisely decided to keep his crackpot opinions out of it.]]></body>
