Description

Written by veterans of the Vietnam War and participants in the organized opposition to it, this book examines how the activities of America's most important a mi war movement affected the lives of its citizens and its government.

Relying on oral histories and recently available archival material, the authors consider the movement's strategies and tactics, its leaders and its rank and file, and describe the difficulties encountered by peace activists in their efforts to build politically effective organizations.

What emerges from this collection is that the millions of Americans who fought against the government's policies in Southeast Asia participated in one of the most potent-and complex-oppositional movements in modern history.
