The author argues that the way the British Government managed
dissent during World War I is important for understanding the way
that the war ended. He argues that, from humble beginings in 1914,
a comprehensive and effective system of suppression had been
developed by the war's end in 1918, with a still greater level of
suppression prepared but not implemented. The general
characteristics of the system of dissent manage ment were that it
was incremental, growing in proportion to the degree of apprehended
threat to the war effort; it never became more repressive than a
working consensus of the population was prepared to tolerate; and
it was calculated to be effective against the particular nature of
British anti-war dissent.
