I was at a tag sale the other day and while rummaging through a box of books came across a small blue book that shaped a large part of my early resolve to become a lawyer. It is the Handbook for Conscientious Objectors. It figured significantly in my early college years.
The handbook was published by the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors and contained information about the draft laws, the principles behind the conscientious objection to war, and information on draft classifications, religious exemptions, alternative service and prison life.
