Description

The anti-Vietnam War movement in the United States is perhaps best remembered for its young, counter-culture student protesters. However, the war was the first in American history in which a substantial number of military personnel actively protested against it while it was in progress. This is a history of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), an organization that transformed the anti-war movement by placing Vietnam veterans at the forefront of the nation-wide struggle to end the war. Its members were mostly young men who had served in Vietnam and returned profoundly disillusioned with the rationale for the war and with American conduct in South-East Asia. VVAW posed a threat to America's Vietnam policy and contributed to the sense that the nation was under siege from within. Based on extensive interviews and detailed primary research, the book offers an account of men who risked censure, stigma, and even imprisonment, for a cause that they believed to be "an extended tour of duty".
