This two-part book examines the roots of warfare and the
development of the peace movement in America from the Colonial
period through the Vietnam War. From the Colonial period on, war
has inevitably divided U.S. society into pro-war and antiwar
factions, and few subjects have proven so polarizing or
long-lasting as a nexus of public discourse. In the contest over
war and peace, uninformed beliefs have been conflated with
uncontested truths by both sides, fueling a lack of bipartisanship
in foreign policy that has been prevalent since the nation's
earliest days. A History of War Resistance in America delineates
clearly the tradition of war opposition in the United States. It
examines the military, preparations for war, and war's justifiable
prosecution, as well as pacifism, legitimate resistance to war, and
the appropriate and free exercise of civil liberties. This
thought-provoking volume offers an analysis of the reasons for
conflict among peoples, the prosecution of war among nations, and
the development of war resistance movements. It also explores the
role of the media in forming public opinion and that of the courts
in protecting—or limiting—civil liberties.
