This book was released on 2011-12-23 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is George Watson. I am 24 years old from Portland, Maine. It is late summer 1968 and although I have been accepted to a Ph.D. program at The Catholic University of America in Washington D.C., I am about to be drafted. How did I get in this situation? And what do I do now? This book provides my personal account of the difficult choices that confronted the U.S. Vietnam War generation. Faced with the dilemma of whether or not to serve in an unpopular, undeclared war, my generation was forced to make choices that were not in tune with those made by our parents’ generation. The so-called “Greatest Generation” of World War II veterans had returned to reap their deserved rewards from the GI Bill and the burgeoning post-war economy. They insisted that we follow in their footsteps and step up to the war demands of the nation. But the times and the issues and the stakes were different. My memoir portrays the realities of those choices, depicting the time and values that caused the generations to clash head on. I track the evolution of my value system beginning in Catholic elementary and high school through college and graduate school, giving insight into the choices I faced and the decisions I made. My personal confrontation with choices during a turbulent era should resonate with members of the Vietnam War generation. Much has been written about the generation that struggled during the Depression and fought in World War II, referred to by former NBC announcer Tom Brokaw and others as “The Greatest Generation.” I felt compelled to write about the generation it spawned. Ironically, it was the progeny of the World War II survivors who would be confronted with the choice of whether to fight in an ambiguous war that was really an unfinished product of the allied victory of World War II. How did we get involved in Vietnam in the first place? Following the “Greatest Generation’s” war, independence movements confronted European colonialism all over the world. Vietnam was but one example of the war’s unfinished business. After the Japanese defeat, the returning French made critical mistakes. They retained the former Japanese police infrastructure for a time and denied university-educated Vietnamese citizens proper opportunities in their own civil service, reserving the key positions for themselves. Because they were reluctant to give up control, the French were confronted with a Nationalist movement that happened to have Communist affiliations. The French lost their war and Vietnam was split in two, between a Communist north under the inspirational leadership of Ho Chi Minh and a supposedly capitalist and Catholic south controlled by the Diem family. Political corruption and nepotism in the south did not inspire widespread allegiance to the Diem regime. With the French defeat at Diem Bien Phu in 1954 the United States, which had recently fought the North Koreans and Chinese to a draw, became more involved with the south at first diplomatically and then militarily. Simply stated, our initial advisory role of the late fifties and early sixties soon expanded. We gradually assumed control of the war and committed more and more troops; by 1968 the nation found itself in Vietnam with a force of 543,000 soldiers fighting a still undeclared war. Who fought in the Vietnam War? What class of American society did they represent? Could I be categorized as the norm? The Vietnam generation born during the years 1940 to 1954 was brought up believing in the greatness of this country. Their fathers had sacrificed during World War II and with their allies had defeated two major powers in several theatres of war. Many of these same veterans were called again to fight during the Korean War, a bloody conflict fought to a draw after three years. Ours was the generation that was raised to believe that the United States had a worldwide mission. We couldn’t revert to isolationism, as our predecessors had done during the period between the t

Download or read book Resister written by Bruce Dancis and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bruce Dancis arrived at Cornell University in 1965 as a youth who was no stranger to political action. He grew up in a radical household and took part in the 1963 March on Washington as a fifteen-year-old. He became the first student at Cornell to defy the draft by tearing up his draft card and soon became a leader of the draft resistance movement. He also turned down a student deferment and refused induction into the armed services. He was the principal organizer of the first mass draft card burning during the Vietnam War, an activist in the Resistance (a nationwide organization against the draft), and a cofounder and president of the Cornell chapter of Students for a Democratic Society. Dancis spent nineteen months in federal prison in Ashland, Kentucky, for his actions against the draft. In Resister, Dancis not only gives readers an insider's account of the antiwar and student protest movements of the sixties but also provides a rare look at the prison experiences of Vietnam-era draft resisters. Intertwining memory, reflection, and history, Dancis offers an engaging firsthand account of some of the era’s most iconic events, including the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, the Abbie Hoffman-led "hippie invasion" of the New York Stock Exchange, the antiwar confrontation at the Pentagon in 1967, and the dangerous controversy that erupted at Cornell in 1969 involving African American students, their SDS allies, and the administration and faculty. Along the way, Dancis also explores the relationship between the topical folk and rock music of the era and the political and cultural rebels who sought to change American society.

Book excerpt: It's hard to imagine that an autobiographical detail of a Vietnam War draft dissenter, who chose to be imprisoned rather than fight a senseless war, could be an enjoyable read.

Book Synopsis Waging Peace in Vietnam by : Ron Carver
Download or read book Waging Peace in Vietnam written by Ron Carver and published by New Village Press. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How American Soldiers Opposed and Resisted the War in Vietnam While mainstream narratives of the Vietnam War all but marginalize anti-war activity of soldiers, opposition and resistance from within the three branches of the military made a real difference to the course of America’s engagement in Vietnam. By 1968, every major peace march in the United States was led by active duty GIs and Vietnam War veterans. By 1970, thousands of active duty soldiers and marines were marching in protest in US cities. Hundreds of soldiers and marines in Vietnam were refusing to fight; tens of thousands were deserting to Canada, France and Sweden. Eventually the US Armed Forces were no longer able to sustain large-scale offensive operations and ceased to be effective. Yet this history is largely unknown and has been glossed over in much of the written and visual remembrances produced in recent years. Waging Peace in Vietnam shows how the GI movement unfolded, from the numerous anti-war coffee houses springing up outside military bases, to the hundreds of GI newspapers giving an independent voice to active soldiers, to the stockade revolts and the strikes and near-mutinies on naval vessels and in the air force. The book presents first-hand accounts, oral histories, and a wealth of underground newspapers, posters, flyers, and photographs documenting the actions of GIs and veterans who took part in the resistance. In addition, the book features fourteen original essays by leading scholars and activists. Notable contributors include Vietnam War scholar and author, Christian Appy, and Mme Nguyen Thi Binh, who played a major role in the Paris Peace Accord. The book originates from the exhibition Waging Peace, which has been shown in Vietnam and the University of Notre Dame, and will be touring the eastern United States in conjunction with book launches in Boston, Amherst, and New York.
