Ken Wachsberger, editor of VOICES FROM THE UNDERGROUND, discusses the history of the American underground press and the publication of his third of four volumes on the topic, titled "Insider Histories of the Vietnam Era Underground Press, Part 2." He spoke at Everybody Reads bookstore in Lansing, Michigan on June 27, 2012. The book offers additional histories of the underground papers from the Vietnam Era as written and told by key staff members of the time. The stories represent a wide range of publications: countercultural, gay, lesbian, feminist, Puerto Rican, Native American, Black, socialist, Southern consciousness, prisoners' rights, New Age, rank-and-file, military, and more. This edition includes a foreword by feminist historian and author Susan Brownmiller. The book series is a fundamental resource for a deeper understanding of a dramatic era in US history.
