      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. In World War II, the number of objectors rose to over 60,000, who encountered a more humane response but still faced a lack of understanding and sympathy from society. The narrative sheds light on their courage and the societal implications of their choices.
