Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Hugh Brock (1914 - 1985) was a lifelong British pacifist, editor of Peace News between 1955 and 1964, a promoter of nonviolent direct action and a founder of the Direct Action Committee, a forerunner of the Committee of 100. Hugh Brock was a conscientious objector in World War II. In May 1940, in the face of defence regulations and demands in parliament for the banning of Peace News, its printer refused to print more copies and, at the same time, the Wholesale Newsagent Association, which handled two-thirds of the circulation, refused to distribute it any longer. Alternative printing arrangements were made by the editor, Humphrey Moore, and Hugh and his brother, Ashley, then agreed to ignore the defence regulation and, with peace groups across Britain, created an efficient voluntary distribution chain. Brock took on the role of assistant editor of Peace News in 1946 and became editor in 1955. At that time the newspaper was the official organ of the Peace Pledge Union (PPU) but this formal link was broken in 1961. He left Peace News in 1964.
