Summary: I did not want to, but I did read it.
Comment: The review title says it all. I believe for one to get an accurate perspective, one must read both sides. Anyone living through the Vietnam Era and serving in the military through this would truly like to burn this book.

Those that were on the "peace" side need to be thanked. Thank them for aiding a people killing 58,000 American soldiers, thank them for helping kill 4.5 million Laotians, Cambodians and Vietnamese. It was there peace movement that forced the politicans to abandon these people and leave them to be slaughtered by the enemy they aided.

The activists and supporters of the peace movements have the blood of these millions on their hands. This book needs to read by all those that want to know and understand the peace movements of that day and this day are nothing more than appeasements to those wishing to destroy the freedoms so many have died for.

This book is trash.

Summary: Against the Vietnam War
Comment: 'At (Mary Susannah Robbins') 25th class reunion at Harvard she attended a symposium, "Vietnam: The Choices We Made." After the event, she recalls, "In Harvard Square it seemed that the sidewalk was glass, that below lay the rubble of the Vietnam War on which American society was built, and that no one was looking down... So I would look down, I would not deny it any longer: I would look at the war and the antiwar movement, so inextricable."
Robbins assembled essays from 24 writers -- 19 men, five women... The authors include some of the best known opponents of the war -- Eugene McCarthy, Joan Baez, Daniel Berrigan, Howard Zinn, Martin Luther King Jr.-- and some of the less known....'
Colman McCarthy, The Washington Post

Summary: Against the Vietnam War: Writings by Activists
Comment: There is no other book quite like this one and its importance has only grown over the years. We need to listen to these voices for they mirror a huge number of American lives. One is grateful to have this sorrowful and wonderful record.
