The first of a two part series
Could war be ended by ordinary people simply refusing to kill? And why do Governments so often respond to those who refuse to be conscripted by throwing them in prison - or torturing them as happened to some of the New Zealanders who refused to take part in the First World War?
Interview One:
Historian David Grant talks about his recent book Field Punishment No.1: Archibald Baxter, Mark Briggs and New Zealand's anti-militarist tradition (Steele Roberts).
Interview Two:
John Baxter grandson of pacifist Archibald Baxter whose book We Will Not Cease describes being subjected to the No.1 Field Punishment referred to in the title of David Grant's book.
A weekly programme exploring a range of philosophical, social, historical and environmental ideas.
Ideas is broadcast on Radio New Zealand National at 11:05am on Sunday Morning with Chris Laidlaw
