Description and Table of Contents

Description

A.C. (Archie) Barrington was a leading New Zealand pacifist during World War 2. Incarcerated in Mount Crawford Prison for his beliefs in 1941, he kept an illicit diary, scrawled in the margins of books. Many years later his son John happened across the diary and painstakingly reconstructed it. John Pratt has edited the diary and provides a fascinating commentary on the issues it raises in relation to prison life then and now.
