Desde que era niño, Mandela impresionó a todos. El niño que pastoreó ganado y amaba las luchas con palos creció para dirigir a su nación hacia la libertad. En su país, la gente estaba dividida en funcion del color de la piel. A lo largo de su juventud como activista politico y durante sus 27 años como prisionero, Mandela siempre tuvo una meta: la igualdad para todos.
When, at the height of the First World War, many Allied governments introduced conscription, there were thousands of individuals who, for personal or religious reasons, refused to fight. After tough questioning, some were exempted but the majority were forced into the army anyways. Those who refused to do their duty were threatened with death sentences or harsh prison terms; many died from ill treatment. Conchies collects many of the moving true stories of these brave individuals.
