The Opposition to the Great War in Wales 1914-1918 by Aled Eirug
This is the first book to describe and analyse the anti-war movement in Wales, and provides an insight into the two main strands of opposition to the war on religious and political grounds. This work details the breadth of anti-war activity and, for the first time, reveals and analyses the 900 conscientious objectors identified in Wales.
"This ground-breaking study is the first comprehensive account of the political, religious and moral opposition to the war in WalesDrawing on a wide range of compelling evidence, the book concludes that this was a coherent anti-war movement, with far-reaching consequences, not simply a series of discrete activities."--Sir Deian Hopkin, chair of the Wales First World War commemoration committee; This book is a valuable contribution to the understanding of those who sacrificed so much to oppose the most horrific of conflicts and the communities from which they came. - Wayne David MP, Arts and Culture
