Short description:
Dispels common misconceptions about the Vietnam antiwar movement to uncover who opposed the war and why.
MoreLong description:
Waging Peace dispels lingering myths of the frequently disregarded Vietnam antiwar movement as dominated by a subversive collection of political radicals and countercultural rebels. This comprehensive history defines a broad movement built around a core of liberal and mainstream activists who challenged what they saw as a misguided and immoral national policy. Facing ongoing resistance from the government and its prowar supporters, demonstrators upheld First Amendment rights and effectively countered official rationales for the war. These dissenting patriots frequently appealed to traditional American principles and overwhelmingly used the tools of democracy within conventional boundaries to align the nation's practice with its most righteous vision. This work covers not only the activists and organizations whose coalitions sponsored mass demonstrations and their often-symbiotic allies within the government, but also encompasses international, military, and cultural dissent. Achieving positive if limited impact, the movement was ultimately neither victorious nor defeated.
'For readers who have studied the antiwar movement you will be surprised that Hall has uncovered so many new interesting characters and events. For new readers on the topic-this is where you begin your reading journey. Mitchell Hall's research is judicious, the writing lucid and exciting, and the conclusions spot on. Waging Peace is a tour de force.' Terry H. Anderson, Texas A&M University and author of The Movement and the Sixties, The Sixties, and Bush's Wars
