A definitive analysis of the impacts of the Iraq antiwar movement
As the Bush administration prepared to wage war against Iraq,
millions of people in the United States and around the world took
to the streets to warn against the impending disaster. It was the
largest wave of antiwar protest in history. This is the story of
those dramatic events, told by distinguished peace scholar and
activist David Cortright. This revealing account offers an insider
view of the emergence of the movement and its political and
communications strategies in attempting to prevent the attack. It
reviews the arrogance of power as senior officials rejected public
and expert opinion and rushed ahead with their ill-fated invasion.
The book traces efforts by opponents of the war to end the
worsening conflict and win Congressional approval for the
withdrawal of troops. Cortright explores the role of the Iraq issue
and the impact of antiwar networks in propelling Barack Obama to
the White House, and the frustrations many activists felt in
navigating the limitations of conventional politics. Readable,
insightful and passionately argued, A Peaceful Superpower provides
a definitive analysis of the impacts of the Iraq antiwar movement
and a hopeful look at the power of civil society to shape the
course of history.
