Editorial Reviews

Published in 1985, this is Moore's painful memoir of his experience as a conscientious objector in World War I. Moore and other COs were court-martialed and imprisoned for 25 years under inhuman conditions. The volume digresses into remembrances of his upstate New York youth and thoughts on socialism. ``Recommended for academic and large public libraries'' ( LJ 4/15/85).
