In 2024, Rolf Cantzen received the Alternative Media Award in the category of History for the three-hour radio feature *“Long Night of the Deserters”*, which was broadcast several times on Deutschlandfunk.
In his newly published book *“Deserters — The History of Conscience, Resistance, and Flight”*, he traces a line from antiquity through the early modern period and the Wehrmacht to today’s wars. What motivates an individual soldier to lay down his weapon in wartime? How do the army, the state, and society respond?
The trade magazine *BuchMarkt* placed the book at number 5 on its *“Nonfiction Bestsellers of the Month”* list in September 2025.
