A Service of Love in War Time: American Friends Relief, Work in Europe

Description: This book tells the extraordinary story of how American Friends volunteered in Europe through service during the First World War and the tumultuous period that followed. The author, one of the original volunteers, interprets the dedicated work of these young men who, motivated by pacifist beliefs, sought alternative ways to contribute. The volunteers grappled with ethical dilemmas between their conscience and country, facing both support and suspicion as they established themselves in war-torn France. The narrative powerfully recounts their experiences, from organizing relief efforts and rebuilding war-ravaged homes to enduring the challenges of the draft and the complexities of the postwar era. This book provides a unique perspective on the power of individual humanitarian action amidst the backdrop of a global conflict, and highlights the depth and complexities of the human experience during a transformative period in history.
