The People Make the Peace - Lessons from the Vietnam Antiwar Movement (Paperback)

As young adults in the 1960s and 1970s, the nine people featured in this book--including co-editor Frank Joyce, Rennie Davis, Judy Gumbo, Alex Hing, and others--worked to end the U.S. war in Vietnam. Independently of each other, while the United States was still at war, nearly all of them travelled to North Vietnam, risking physical harm and charges of treason back home. In 2013, they all revisited Vietnam in a trip organized by the editors of this book. The People Make the Peace presents their reflections on those experiences, providing thoughtful and well informed reflections on a war and an era that deeply affected the United States and the world.
