The Good War and Those Who Refused to Fight It

A group of American pacifists, driven by their strong moral convictions, make a courageous stand against the war efforts during World War II, despite facing intense opposition.

Men of conscience in World War II faced a unique dilemma. Out of 16 million called to serve, only 42,000 refused to participate due to religious, moral, philosophical, or political convictions. Despite this, many continued to serve in non-combat roles, some even volunteering for dangerous medical experiments. Others worked in mental hospitals, leading to lasting reforms in mental healthcare.
