This collection of oral histories tells of the choices made regarding war and conscientious objection among
Friends (Quakers) in Northwest Yearly Meeting during World War II, the Korean War,
and the Vietnam War (1940-1975). These interviews reveal how Friends during that time period thought about the peace
testimony. There is an audio file and a transcript of each one.
