Alex Sareyan

The Turning Point is the first comprehensive chronicle of the contributions made by conscientious objectors who volunteered for service in AmericaÂs mental hospitals and state institutions for the developmentally disabled during Word War II. It brings together excerpts from Life, ReaderÂs Digest, and The Cleveland Press, as well as letters and personal reminiscences that recall the shock and distress of conscientious objectors at the conditions in state mental hospitals.
