A compelling look at war and the antiwar movement in the United Kingdom
People Power charts the history of the antiwar movement in the United Kingdom
from the outbreak of the First World War to present-day conflicts in the Middle
East, telling the story of conscientious objectors and others who have been
engaged in protest over the past century. Drawing on testimonies from the
Imperial War Museum's vast collection of recordings and documents, the book
gives voice to contributors from different backgrounds and explores their
wide-ranging reasons for opposing war, as well as the changes and continuity in
the movement throughout these years of almost continuous conflict.
