Hell, No, We Didn't Go!

"In Saying No to the Vietnam War, Eli Greenbaum presents personal accounts from individuals who were driven to resist or dodge the Vietnam War draft. These vivid and candid oral histories detail encounters with the Selective Service System, events that were often controversial, sometimes volatile, and almost always emotionally charged. The narrative of the author's own experience blended with the interviewees' stories brings together a chorus of protest while providing context, commentary, and a unique fifty-year perspective. Saying No will not only resonate with those who lived through this divisive and volatile era but will help subsequent generations understand how and why there was such strong antiwar sentiment during the Vietnam War era"--
