Reseña del editor:

Since the end of the Vietnam War, many still struggle to come to terms with this tumultuous period in U.S. history. In 'The People Make the Peace', nine U.S. activists discuss their roles in the antiwar movement, including their risky wartime travels to Vietnam to engage in people-to-people diplomacy, and their reflections upon revisiting the country in 2013. The book also includes interviews with U.S. veterans who are now working in Vietnam. These stories of successful peace organizing will challenge the myths that still linger from that era, and inspire a new generation seeking peaceful solutions to war and conflict today. Contributors include: Jay Craven, Rennie Davis, Judy Gumbo, Alex Hing, Doug Hostetter, Frank Joyce, Nancy Kurshan, Myra MacPherson, John McAuliff, Becca Wilson.
