Description
The book consists of excerpts from interviews of senior members
of State College Friends Meeting. The narrators who lived
through the Great Depression tell of their difficult childhoodand yet in
most cases one they regarded as happy. Some of the conscientious objectors
during WWII tell of life in CPS camps; others speak of using nonviolent
methods with mental patients, while still others relate the story of the human
guinea experiments some of them participated in.
Of those who did relief work after the war overseas, probably the
most exciting tales are told by the four who worked with the Friends
Ambulance Unit in China. They happened to be located close to where the
Nationalists and the Communists were fighting.
