I will not Fight, Consientious Objectors and Pacifists in the North West during the Second World War, by Pat Starkey Published by Liverpool University Press in 1992, 40 pages. (N2565) This booklet discusses the activities of those in North-West England, who, during the Second World War, were unwilling to participate in military action, whether for religious and moral or for political reasons.
Many overcame their individualism in order to form a variety of groupings, partly for self-protection but mainly in order to demonstrate their willingness and capacity to undertake social tasks they considered beneficial. Humanitarian activities, for instance, in relation to victims of bombing led to a more general interest in helping disadvantaged families. This in turn led up to the formation of Pacifist Service Units and the development of "case-work" social activities.
After the war these units, dropping their pacifist connection, generated the Family Service Units movement, where family case-work was widely respected as an essential feature of national social and community policy.
Condition of the booklet is generally excellent. The cover is clean and tidy, the staple spine is intact and all pages are clean, intact, unblemished and tightly bound
