Soldiers in Revolt
GI Resistance During the Vietnam War
 |
Soldiers in Revolt documents one of the least known and most important aspects of the Vietnam War: the rebellion among U.S. soldiers opposed to the war. From the front lines to stateside military bases, the U.S. armed forces were wracked by widespread resistance, including combat refusals and mutinies. This book is mostly reprinted from Cortright's original 1975 Soldiers in Revolt but a new chapter looks at the enduring imprint of this period on the U.S. military and the lessons that this era holds for the U.S. occupation in Iraq.
