During the Second World War, he declared as a conscientious objector and was briefly imprisoned before spending the remainder of the war on alternative service.
After the war, Brock worked with a Quaker relief mission to Germany and Poland, sparking his interest in Eastern Europe. After the mission ended, Brock took graduate study at Jagiellonian University, receiving a doctorate in history in 1950. He earned a second doctorate at Oxford in 1954 and subsequently emigrated to Canada, where he taught at the University of Toronto from 1966 until his retirement.
