About This Item
Glendora, Ca: Pacifica Library Associates, 1942. Very good.. [2],137,[4] leaves. Folio. Reproduced typescript, with "Explanatory Note" taped to inside front cover. Original brad-bound, printed card wrappers. Light wear. Without the five leaves of "Authors cited" at the end, as noted in the OCLC record, but perhaps not present in all copies. A detailed history and study of the history of "the Peace Movement in its broadest sense" produced by the Pacifica Library Associates at the outset of World War II. The explanatory note states that the study is "addressed primarily to the present c.o.'s as a suggestion that opportunities for an extension of Peace education may grow rapidly during immediate years to come." Chapters focus on the "Origins and Effects of World War I," "General Opposition to War," "Non-violence -- Theory and Practice," "Christian Views," "Socialists," "Statecraft," and "Military Attitudes," as well as general chapters on history, educators, and science involved in conscientious objection. The work concludes with lists of further reading related to the subject. The year following the present study, after being sent to a work camp in Glendora, the Pacifica Library Associates began publishing a newsletter called Pacifica Views, which became a vital source of communication amongst conscientious objectors. The present work is a foundational entry in the history and philosophy of conscientious objection.
