RETHINKING THE AMERICAN ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT
Between 1965 and 1973, thousands of ordinary Americans participated in one of the most remarkable and significant peoples movements in American history. Through marches, rallies, draft resistance, teach-ins, and non-violent demonstrations at both the national and local levels, Americans vehemently protested the countrys involvement in the Vietnam War.
Rethinking the American Anti-War Movement provides a short, accessible overview of this important social and political movement, highlighting key events and key figures, the movements strengths and weaknesses, how it intersected with other social and political movements of the time, and its lasting effect on the country. The book is perfect for anyone wanting to obtain an introduction to the anti-war movement of the twentieth century.
Simon Hall is a Senior Lecturer in American History at the University of Leeds.

EDITORS SERIES INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the American Social and Political Movements of the Twentieth Century series at Routledge. This collection of works by top historians from around the nation and world introduces students to the myriad movements that came together in the United States during the twentieth century to expand democracy, to reshape the political economy, and to increase social justice.
Each book in this series explores a particular movements origins, its central goals, its leading as well as grassroots figures, its actions as well as ideas, and its most important accomplishments as well as serious missteps.
With this series of concise yet synthetic overviews and reassessments, students not only will gain a richer understanding of the many human rights and civil liberties that they take for granted today, but they will also newly appreciate how recent, how deeply contested, and thus how inherently fragile, are these same elements of American citizenship.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I would like to thank Heather Ann Thompson for inviting me to contribute a volume to what I naturally hope will be a hugely successful series, and for offering perceptive and thoughtful suggestions for improving the final manuscript. Kimberly Guinta, my editor at Routledge, has helped to make the whole production process as smooth and straightforward as possible, and her flexibility over deadlines was appreciated hugely. John Gooch, the former chair of my department, and Katrina Honeyman, a dear friend and colleague, urged me to take on this project and I am glad that I took their advice. Andrew Preston, Chris Prior, Dominic Sandbrook, and Joe Street were all kind enough to read parts of the manuscript, and they provided helpful and constructive criticism. Finally, and most importantly, I would like to thank Jnos, for everything.
