Description: "It combines scrupulous scholarly detail with a degree of sophistication in analysis and general conceptualization not equaled elsewhere in the literature....The editors have compiled a highly useful reference source for scholars and activists, and on that basis alone have produced a work worthy of inclusion in any private or institutional library....The book's quality and usefulness are beyond question."-- Peace & Change "A first-rate review of the current status of conscientious objection in the industrialized world, including excellent historical reviews of the evolution of the religious and philosophical bases behind the idea of conscientious objection....It will be an asset to all scholars, analysts, and policymakers who deal with the recruiting and maintaining of armed forcces, both in the United States and elsewhere."-- Journal of Military History "This is a fascinating exploration of the origins, nature, and significance of modern conscientious objection. Those of us who deal with conscientious objectors every day can confirm the authors' thesis that today's conscientious objection is more secular than religious, that it is widespread rather than marginal, and that principled refusal to bear arms can affect political and social events. This book will be an essential part of the library of anyone who wants to understand conscientious objection."--Robert A. Seeley, Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors "This book makes a serious contribution to the study of military institutions."-- Contemporary Sociology "The shift in the concept of citizenship from that of citizen soldier bearing arms to defend the state to that of the citizen server making the state and the world of which it is a part a more secure home for all peoples, is one of the least noticed but possibly most important developments of this century and the next. The Moskos-Chambers book is a remarkable documentation of this silent transformation and the role of conscientious objection in it. This is a "must read" for strategic thinkers, peace researchers, policy planners and activists."--Elise Boulding, Dartmouth College
