As the Vietnam War divided the nation, a network of antiwar
coffeehouses appeared in the towns and cities outside American
military bases. Owned and operated by civilian activists, GI
coffeehouses served as off-base refuges for the growing number of
active-duty soldiers resisting the war. In the first history of
this network, David L. Parsons shows how antiwar GIs and civilians
united to battle local authorities, vigilante groups, and the
military establishment itself by building a dynamic peace movement
within the armed forces. Peopled with lively characters and set in
the tense environs of base towns around the country, this book
complicates the often misunderstood relationship between the
civilian antiwar movement, U.S. soldiers, and military officials
during the Vietnam era. Using a broad set of primary and secondary
sources, Parsons shows us a critical moment in the history of the
Vietnam-era antiwar movement, when a chain of counterculture
coffeehouses brought the war's turbulent politics directly to the
American military's doorstep.
