Author Description

"This is an unusual account of the impact of World War One on Briton Ferry, an industrial town in South Wales. Using material from the period the author has built up a story of resistance to military conscription and war. This account not only involves the inhabitants, but also leading politicians, suffragettes and philosophers of the period, such as Keir Hardie and Emmeline Pankhurst. This compelling account of their fight for peace and human rights is very relevant to today's world."--Author's website.
