Description: "How did the protests and support of ordinary American citizens affect their country's participation in the Vietnam War? This book focuses on four social groups that achieved political prominence in the 1960s and early 1970s - students, African Americans, women, and labor - and investigates the impact of each on American foreign policy during the war."--BOOK JACKET.
