An American Ordeal: The Antiwar Movement of the Vietnam Era

An American Ordeal: The Antiwar Movement of the Vietnam Era (Syracuse Studies on Peace and Conflict Resolution)

An American Ordeal is a comprehensive interpretive history that covers the anti-war movement in the USA throughout the entire Vietnam era. This study offers a narrative of the struggle that took place on the home front, even as the war itself was being waged in South-east Asia. Portraying the movement as a social force that energized people culturally yet failed to develop enduring political strength, the authors view the war as part of the long tradition of peace activism in America, as well as a process that ultimately spurred citizens to take decisive action against their government's policy.
