Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. First Edition [stated]. xxii, 215, [3] pages. Includes Acknowledgments; Introduction; Struggle; Resolution; Afterword by David Chanoff; Important Dates and Events; and A Note on Sources. David Chanoff is a noted author of nonfiction work. His work has typically involved collaborations with the principal protagonist of the work concerned. His collaborators have included; Augustus A. White, Joycelyn Elders, oàn V n To i, William J. Crowe, Ariel Sharon and Kenneth Good. He has also written about a wide range of subjects including literary history, education and foreign for The Washington Post, and The New Republic and the New York Times Magazine. He has authored more than twelve books. oàn V n To i (1945 - November 2017) was a Vietnamese-born naturalized American activist and the author of The Vietnamese Gulag (Simon & Schuster, 1986). Doan became an antiwar activist, a supporter of the National Liberation Front and vice president of the Saigon Student Union in 1969 and 1970, and spent time in jails in South Vietnam for antigovernment activities as a student leader. After the invasion of the North Vietnamese Army and the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, he became a senior official of the Ministry of Finance under the Provisional Government. He soon disagreed on purely professional grounds with a superior official and was jailed for 28 months. He left Vietnam in May 1978 and went into exile in Paris. In 1989, he was shot and wounded. There was speculation that he was shot by anti-Communist protesters. This book allows us to hear, for the first time, the voices of the enemy--guerrilla fighters, terrorists, militant monks, opposition leaders, propaganda chiefs, and village secretaries, as well as the common people such as villagers, peasants, factory workers, and artists from both the north and south. It reveals the full story of the Vietnam War from the perspective of the other side. Derived from a Kirkus review: An oral history, for the first time bringing to the West a perception of what it was like to fight on the side of the Vietcong and the North Vietnamese Army. Chanoff and Doan have previously collaborated in publishing A Vietcong Memoir and The Vietnamese Gulag. Through the stories of a handful of soldiers and southern opposition leaders, several of whom provide a biographic thread connecting the whole, we are shown that "disillusionment, cynicism, family conflicts, and deep psychological trauma were as pervasive on the other side as on our own." We learn that wounded North Vietnamese veterans were given a treatment by their homeland far worse than any experienced or perceived by returning American soldiers. The authors depict soldiers "born into a social matrix that considered self-sacrifice a normal concomitant of the human condition." Indeed, they have done well in drawing these people out. In addition to the fear of reprisals by ardent Vietnamese anti-communists, the authors had heavy doses of inscrutability to deal with. But draw them out they do and the result is often a burst of insight, as when one ex-VC assassin says, describing his stabbing to death of a young woman sentenced to death by the VC, "I regret that I killed her while she was pregnant. I should have waited for her delivery." A good start to what should begin an accumulation of books making sense of the war in Vietnam, as we move into the second decade since its end.…

215, [3] pp. 8vo. Highly visible in civil-rights marches, Baez became more vocal about her disagreement with the Vietnam War. In 1964, she publicly endorsed resisting taxes by withholding sixty percent of her 1963 income taxes. In 1964, she founded the Institute for the Study of Nonviolence[84] (along with her mentor Sandperl) and encouraged draft resistance at her concerts. The Institute for the Study of Nonviolence would later branch into the Resource Center for Nonviolence.[85] In 1966, Baez's autobiography, Daybreak, was released. It is the most detailed report of her life through 1966 and outlined her anti-war position, dedicating the book to men facing imprisonment for resisting the draft. Baez was arrested twice in 1967, having blocked the entrance of the Armed Forces Induction Center in Oakland, California, and spent over a month in jail. She was a frequent participant in anti-war marches and rallies, including: Numerous protests in New York City organized by the Fifth Avenue Vietnam Peace Parade Committee, starting with the March 1966 Fifth Avenue Peace Parade;[88] A conversation with husband David Harris at UCLA in 1968 discussing the resistance to the draft during the Vietnam War.[89] A free 1967 concert at the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., that had been opposed by the Daughters of the American Revolution which attracted a crowd of 30,000 to hear her anti-war message. The 1969 Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam protests. There were many others, culminating in Phil Ochs's The War Is Over celebration in New York City in May 1975. During the Christmas season 1972, Baez joined a peace delegation traveling to North Vietnam, both to address human rights in the region, and to deliver Christmas mail to American prisoners of war. During her time there, she was caught in the U.S. military's "Christmas bombing" of Hanoi, North Vietnam, during which the city was bombed for eleven straight days. She once was quoted, "I went to jail for 11 days for disturbing the peace; I was trying to disturb the war." Joan Baez, 1967 Pop Chronicles interview.
