Bound with stiff printed cardboard covers and wrapped in an illustrated paper jacket. Illustrations by Lowell Naeve. From the Isherwood preface: "The men who have written this book were all members of the extreme pacifist minority which resisted the U.S. conscription system during World War II. Extreme pacifists is the best description I can think of, but it is unsatisfactory and vague; for the group contained several sorts of anarchists, individualists, religious and non-religious objectors.Maybe you will never go to prison, either willingly or unwillingly. Maybe you disagree completely with the stand which these men took. But the problems raised by this book extend far beyond the unsual categories of right and wrong, expediency and inexpediency. They touch all our lives. I wish it could be read by everybody in the United States.". Lowell Naeve (illustrator). Book.…

Ballantine, an actor and sculptor with whom Rainer lived in London. Ballantine was the father of Ian Ballantine, the founder of Bantam Books and of Ballantine Books, which published an extract from Rainer's novella "A Room at the Inn".Dachine Rainer [1921-2000] "was an American-born Anglophile poet, an anarchist with a house in Belgravia [London], and friends with W. H. Auden, Ezra Pound, e.e. cummings and Dame Rebecca West". In the early 1950s, she and cummings were instrumental in the formation of the Committee for the Liberation of Ezra Pound, who had supported Fascist ideas in Italy during the war and was arrested and tried for treason. "During this time Dachine Rainer loudly defended Pound's reputation as a man and as a poet, although her own political views were very different to his. She was a lifelong anarchist who believed that the state interfered too much in people's lives and that it should be abolished. She envisioned mankind living in harmony with nature, a theme evident in her poems, which were influenced by German romantic writers and by Yeats, as well as by Pound himself.From 1946 until 1960, Dachine Rainer.edited the quarterly magazine Retort, which was hand-produced by herself and Holley Cantine, a writer with whom she was then living. Like the newspaper that they ran, The Wasp, this was dedicated to the politics of the Left and the arts. The pair also edited 'Prison Etiquette' (1950), a volume of writings by conscientious objectors who had been jailed." [Both Cantine and Rainer had been confined in a federal prison as conscientious objectors during World War II]."Her first [full-length] novel was 'The Uncomfortable Inn' (1960), a picaresque, semi-autobiographical tale that revolved about an odd collection of lodgers living in Greenwich Village. It was reviewed in Britain by Rebecca West, who chose it as her favorite first novel of the year, and the two women subsequently became firm friends."
