Pacifists in Chains: The Persecution of Hutterites during the Great War (Young Center Books in Anabaptist and Pietist Studies) Paperback – Import, 9 February 2014

I heard a brief mention of these war resisters in the movie Matewan and have been looking for a good book about the group ever since. This is the ONE! Tremendous research by the author. The author has an engaging style and it explains why there is always so much war hysteria at the beginning of a war--like Japanese internment in WWII. This is great read not an academic sleeping pill.

This book was required for an Organizational Theories class and was quite enjoyable. The application of the theories we learned was easily kept in the Kindle App notes. It is a stark reminder of the effects of Nationalism and the atrocities that can arise as a result.

The soldiers and Generals misunderstanding of how the CO's convictions kept them from any war effort duty. And how a true CO is not seeking to shirk from duty, but only because of truly following Christ, even unto death. God bless all His Children!

The Book was very nice like promised.
