Synopsis

Excerpt from The Conscientious Objector

Prior to my detail to the Board of Inquiry I had been reviewing, in the Office of the Judge Advocate General, the records of trial by court-martial of conscientious objectors. Although I had never set eyes on a conscientious objector, I firmly believed that they were, as a class, shirkers and cowards.

My first trip as a member of the Board upset most of my ideas regarding the objector. I began to see him in a new light. And an examination of over eight hundred objectors in twenty widely distributed military camps and posts has convinced me that they are, as a rule, sincere - cowards and shirkers, in the commonly accepted sense, they are not. Their sincerity, however, makes them no less a national problem.

What follows is an attempt to present the objector as he appears to a member of the Board. The opinions expressed are not to be taken as those of the Board or of my colleagues on the Board.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
