The domestic antiwar movement, with cooperation from their Vietnamese counterparts, played a significant role in ending the War, but few have examined its impact until now. In The People Make the Peace, edited by Karín Aguilar-San Juan and Frank Joyce, nine U.S. activists discuss the parts they played in opposing the War at home and their risky travels to Vietnam in the midst of the conflict to engage in people-to-people diplomacy.</p><p>"The book shatters stereotypes of protesters and shows the activists as thoughtful, courageous and compassionate strategists whose dedication to peaceful diplomacy helped end the war earlier…" - Medea Benjamin, CODEPINK</p><p><a href="https://jwb.bookstore.ipgbook.com/the-people-make-the-peace-products-9781935982593.php" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jwb.bookstore.ipgbook.com/the-</span><span class="invisible">people-make-the-peace-products-9781935982593.php</span></a></p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AsianMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AsianMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietnameseBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VietnameseBooks</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TootSEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TootSEA</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SouthEastAsia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SouthEastAsia</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietnamWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VietnamWar</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/USWarOnVietnam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USWarOnVietnam</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PoliticalActivists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PoliticalActivists</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Activism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Activism</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AntiWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AntiWar</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PeaceActivists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PeaceActivists</span></a></p>
