Inhaltsangabe

As Europe lurched towards war during the 1930s, many people in Britain, with the memories of the horrors of the First World War painfully fresh, set out to build groups opposed to the idea of a future war. Despite current notions of the Second World War as being a time when Britons pulled together with a unity of purpose, many of these organizations continued their work in either campaigning against the conduct of the war, or to alleviate its more destructive effects. The people who went against the political and cultural climate of the time have been somewhat airbrushed from history. This book brings them back into focus and demonstrates the myriad ways in which they lived out the slogan I Renounce War .

John is currently completing a PhD on Christianity in the British Armed Services at the University of Durham, and is the author of two published books, Fight the Good Fight: Voices of Faith from the First World War, and Fight the Good Fight: Voices of Faith from the Second World War.
