Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Is Conscience a Crime ' is a profound examination of the ethical and legal struggles faced by conscientious objectors in the United States during the First World War. Written by the influential social activist and political figure Norman Thomas, this work delves into the fundamental conflict between individual conscience and the demands of the state during times of national crisis. Thomas meticulously documents the experiences of those who refused to take up arms on religious, ethical, or political grounds, providing a detailed account of their treatment in military camps and prisons.The book serves as a powerful defense of civil liberties and the right to dissent. By exploring the philosophical and practical implications of pacifism, Thomas raises enduring questions about the nature of democracy and the limits of government authority. Through personal narratives and rigorous analysis, 'Is Conscience a Crime ' highlights the courage of those who stood by their convictions despite intense social and legal pressure. This work remains a vital resource for understanding the history of the peace movement in America and the ongoing debate over the role of conscience in public life.
