- W2156584179 abstract "In so far as anybody remembers General Lewis Blaine Hershey today, it is probably in connection with the draft and the Vietnam War. As director of the Selective Service System for thirty years, his name became synonymous with the drafting of unwilling young men for an unpopular Vietnam War. His reputation in antiwar circles is not generally very high. In General Lewis B. Hershey and Conscientious Objection during World War II, author Nicholas A. Krehbiel endeavors, with some success, to rehabilitate Hershey's name, showing him to be sympathetic to conscientious objection during the Second World War and adept at managing the political difficulties of war-time America to ensure that conscientious objectors did not suffer in the manner which they had in 1917 and 1918. The book is not a general study of conscientious objection in the United States nor a complete biography of Hershey. It limits itself to that part of Hershey's work immediately before and then during America's participation in the Second World War that related to conscientious objection. In particular, it focuses on Hershey's relationship with the historic peace churches (Quakers, Mennonites, and Brethren), which Krehbiel shows to have been normally positive despite occasional tensions. Krehbiel further puts this story into the wider context of the treatment of conscientious objectors in the First World War, the position of the historic peace churches, and the political conditions prevailing in war-time America, which were overwhelmingly hostile to conscientious objectors." @default.
