Troublesome People is the story of the pacifists themselves in Britain, the United States ,West Germany and Japan. It starts with the conscientious objectors of the first world war and ends with the peace tax resisters and those who protest around the nuclear bases in Europe and the United States in the 1980s. It is about pacifism in all its shades from the absolutism of some of the religious sects to nuclear pacifism. It shows pacifists to be not eccentric and cowardly as they have too often been painted but eloquent, self-disciplined, lonely and often extraordinarily brave.
