Crisis of Conscience: Conscientious Objection in Canada during the First World War (Studies in Canadian Military History) - Softcover
Book 16 of 59: Studies in Canadian Military History
Synopsis
The First World War’s appalling death toll and the need for a sense of equality of sacrifice on the home front led to Canada’s first experience of overseas conscription. While historians have focused on resistance to enforced military service in Quebec, this has obscured the important role of those who saw military service as incompatible with their religious or ethical beliefs. Crisis of Conscience is the first and only book about the Canadian pacifists who refused to fight in the Great War. The experience of these conscientious objectors offers insight into evolving attitudes about the rights and responsibilities of citizenship during a key period of Canadian nation building.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. pp: 255. Shaw has undertaken a difficult study of the government handling of the more than 300,000 men who claimed exemption from military service during the First World War. The tribunal dealing with these cases was led by Justice Lyman Duff. Perhaps, in a misguided attempt to protect the claimants, Duff and his staff tossed out the records after the war. Shaw persevered in her work by referring to similar records in the United States. Includes chapter notes, a bibliography, and index. This copy of the book is near fine with no serious faults, and a clean, unmarked text block. Seller Inventory # 008668
