"These strange criminals" : an anthology of prison memoirs by conscientious objectors from the Great War to the Cold War

documentary heritage
  • Description

    "This important and thought-provoking anthology consists of thirty prison memoirs by conscientious objectors to military service, drawn from the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and centring on their jail experiences during the First and Second World Wars and the Cold War. Voices from history come alive, detailing the impact of prison life and offering unique perspectives on wartime government policies of conscription and imprisonment.

    The collection is an essential contribution to our understanding of criminology and the history of pacifism, and represents a valuable addition to prison literature."--Publisher's information.
