People Power: Fighting for Peace from the First World War to the Present
“People Power” charts the history of the antiwar movement in the United Kingdom from the outbreak of the First World War to present‑day conflicts in the Middle East, telling the story of conscientious objectors and others who have been engaged in protest over the past century. Drawing on testimonies from the Imperial War Museum’s vast collection of recordings and documents, the book gives voice to contributors from different backgrounds and explores their wide‑ranging reasons for opposing war, as well as the changes and continuity in the movement throughout these years of almost continuous conflict. The book explores the role of key organisations within the movement and tells the personal stories of high‑profile individuals, including Sylvia Pankhurst, A.A. Milne, and Vanessa Redgrave, who stood out against conflict.
