The Conscientious Objector

After being admitted to the New York bar in 1901, Mr. Kellogg practiced law until he joined the U.S. Army in 1917 as a Major in the Judge Advocate General's Department. During World War One he was appointed the Chairman of the Board of Inquiry on Conscientious Objectors. He traveled to all Army camps studying the conscientious objectors and in 1919, wrote this book entitled "The Conscientious Objector" which became a standard work of the US Army and was used as a text book at West Point.
The book covers all of his investigation and interviews with those who refused military service due to religious convictions, all of their denominations, their justifications and beliefs, and the various types of incarceration and confinement imposed on them during World War One.
