About This Item
Place_Pub: New York: Oxford University Press, 1993. First Printing. good, ex-lib.. 286, wraps, notes, select bibliography, index, usual library markings, covers somewhat worn and soiled. This comprehensive, comparative scholarly study of conscientious objection to military service examines the history of the practice in the Western world, and state policies that have grown up in response to it. It shows how the contemporary refusal to bear arms is likely to be secular andwidespread rather than religious and marginal, now including service people(as seen in the 1991 War in the Persian Gulf) as well as conscription resisters. No account of civil-military relations or peace movements in advanced industrial countries is complete without reference to conscientious objection, and this book will be the standard text on the subject.
