Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book sheds light on a little-known chapter in global anti-war history, highlighting the dramatic experiences of conscientious objectors in New Zealand during World War I. The author, himself an editor and a dismissed minister, presents a compelling narrative of the struggles faced by those who refused military service on religious, socialist, or Irish grounds. Drawing upon extensive research and firsthand accounts, the book explores the evolution of New Zealand's Conscription Act, tracing the government's relentless suppression of dissent and its use of increasingly oppressive tactics, including imprisonment and forced exile. The author provides vivid portraits of the objectors, their diverse backgrounds, and their unwavering commitment to their principles. Beyond its historical significance, this book delves into profound questions of conscience, individual liberty, and the limits of state power during wartime. It exposes the tragic consequences of government overreach and the enduring power of those who stand up for their beliefs, even in the face of adversity.
