REFUSING TO FIGHT THE GOOD WAR by Stuart Anderson
This book explores the difficulties experienced by objectors in the Armed Forces and those who worked on the land, and also considers women who objected to compulsion extended to them for the first time.
Stuart did not enter the academic world until his retirement in 2007. He spent nearly forty years working in local government, mainly with the City of Sunderland, qualifying as an accountant in 1980. One of the many jobs he undertook was Managing Director of Sunderland Empire Theatre and later was the Project Manager for the £12million refurbish-ment of the theatre.
Stuart obtained his BA in History from Newcastle University in 2010 and his MA in British History in 2011. He completed his PhD thesis on Conscientious Objectors at Northumbria University in 2016. His previ-ous dissertations have covered Crime in County Durham during WWII and the Loyalty of Northern Ireland’s Loyalists during WWII.
His leisure interests include being a life-long supporter of Sunderland AFC, coaching swimming and playing Table Tennis, the latter showing a sharp decline as the years advance.
He has been married to Liz for forty-two years. They have two children and four grandchildren.
