The book highlights the often-overlooked experiences of conscientious objectors during the World Wars, focusing on the 16,000 men in Britain who refused conscription in World War I due to their moral beliefs against violence. It details the severe mistreatment they faced, including imprisonment and abuse, resulting in over 70 deaths.
