London: Thames and Hudson, 1972. 8vo size hardcover with dust jacket; 230 bright, white pages. From jacket: " (A) memoir of (the author's) life as a conscientious objector during the Second World War...

British author Edward Bishen (1920 - 1996) wrote more than a dozen book during his career. He was also a broadcaster for the BBC. This volume is one of four autobiographies.
