Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. A very good clean copy with a small amount of staining to the fore edges and a pen name. This powerful memoir recounts Allan Handyside's experiences as a conscientious objector during the Second World War, when his refusal to undertake military service led to almost four years of imprisonment at Rangipo Prison between 1942 and 1946.
