[Book Club of One · Rating 4 out of 5]

A concise monograph devoted to the work the Board of Inquiry for Conscientious Objectors in the United States during World War I. The author, Major Judge Advocate Walter Kellogg served as the chairman of this board and reflects on his work and provides many important governmental documents relating to the treatment and experience of the C. O.s.

As it is written by a military man, it is biased in favor of the military and United States in general. After all, Secretary of War Newton Baker provides the introduction. Those note aside, Major Kellogg seems very tolerant and spares his disapproval for the insincere or absolutist.
