Christopher Anderson, Citizen Jane: The Turbulent Life of Jane Fonda.  New York: Holt, 1990.  389 pp. In his hostility to Fonda, Anderson is sometimes careless about the facts. See for example p. 10, where he writes that "John McCain . . . was a prisoner of war in May 1972 when his captors informed him that Fonda was in Hanoi. The North Vietnamese ordered McCain to have his picture taken with her and make statements condemning the war. When he refused, both his arms were broken and he was confined to a six-by-three foot box for five months." This story is entirely false (see Chapter 26 of McCain's memoir Faith of My Fathers for what actually happened to McCain during this period of his imprisonment in Hanoi).

The book is primarily devoted to Kerry's actions during the years of the war; only a brief section at the end (pp. 427-457) deals with events after the Paris Agreements of 1972, including the initial stages of his 2004 presidential campaign.

Noam Chomsky, a professor of linguistics at M.I.T., emerged as one of the more important anti-war writers on Indochina during the war. He was very intelligent, very knowledgeable, and very far to the left. He did not pretend to be moderate in an effort to appear more respectable. (Chomsky's radicalism inspired great hostility, which has led some other authors to misrepresent him, accusing him of having made outrageous and/or foolish statements he had not actually made.) Many of his essays were originally published in The New York Review of Books, including:

At the time of his death in 2000, he had completed large portions of his planned manuscript, with considerable detail about his experiences visiting both South and North Vietnam, but there were other episodes he had not gotten to. His widow Audrey Kahin wrote large portions of chapter 11, filling in some of the gaps.

John Kerry and Vietnam Veterans Against the War (David Thorne and George Butler, eds.), The New Soldier. New York: Collier, 1971. 174 pp. Partly about the April 1971 VVAW demonstrations in Washington, partly about the Vietnam War itself. Contains many short statements by American veterans of Vietnam (some of which are from the Winter Soldier hearings). Also many photographs. A group of Kerry's political enemies calling themselves freekerrybook.org have placed online an oddly modified version of this book. The original book had intermingled text and photographs. What has been placed online as a .pdf file has the text gathered together at the beginning, and the photos gathered together after the text. The text is complete as far as I can tell, but I have not checked closely. I am pretty sure that a bunch of the photos have been omitted, but it is hard to be sure, because the ones that are in the web version have been scrambled around; they are not in anything even close to the order in which the photos appeared in the book. Almost all the photo captions have been omitted. And there is one big photo of Kerry that seems to have been added (p. 55 of the .pdf file); I could not find this photo anywhere in the copy of the book I checked. Also some testimony by Kerry before a congressional committee, not found in the book, has been added. The overall effect is to make Kerry's role in the book seem larger than it actually was.

Martin Luther King, Jr., was a Baptist preacher who became a major leader of the civil rights movement. In 1965 he began publicly questioning the Vietnam War, and in 1967 he began speaking very strongly against the war. He was murdered in 1968.

But he specifically stated (p. 142) that he did not see a good basis for charges of war crimes in connection with U.S. bombing of North Vietnam. This has become particularly relevant since the emergence of a story, which I do not believe, that Taylor said in 1966 that he did favor trying U.S. pilots who had been bombing North Vietnam as war criminals.

He arrived in Vietnam in November 1968, and as a newly promoted 1st lieutenant was assigned to command the 1st Military Intelligence Team (assigned to the 11th Infantry Brigade) of the 52nd Military Intelligence Detachment (assigned to the Americal Division). Most of the thesis deals with his participation in the anti-war movement later. He was one of the leaders of Citizens' Commission of Inquiry (CCI), which worked to publicize American atrocities in Vietnam, and later of Citizen Soldier.

Some discussion of atrocities such as the use of electric shock torture in interrogation. He left Vietnam in April 1969, diagnosed with tuberculosis. Soon he was a grad student at New York University, and promptly joined the anti-war movement.

Students for a Democratic Society (SDS)

SDS, a minor organization in the early 1960s, grew dramatically when it became the main student organization opposing the Vietnam War. For a number of years its internal factions managed to get along with one another remarkably well, but they finally tore it apart in 1969.

The Weather Underground

After SDS broke up in 1969, one portion of it, which had been known as the National Office Faction, evolved into a semi-terrorist group (they set off a bunch of bombs, but tried to avoid setting them off at times and places were someone would actually be killed) initially known as the Weathermen.

The 1968 Chicago Demonstrations, and the Conspiracy Trial

The 1968 Democratic Party Convention was held in Chicago from August 26 to 29. Anti-war protesters converged on the city. The politically conservative and hawkish Chicago Police Department reacted strongly to provocation, in what has sometimes been called a "police riot." Eight men were brought to trial in September 1969, charged with conspiracy to cross state lines with intent to cause a riot. The trial became a circus, with a heavily biased judge confronting disrespectful defendants. Initially the defendants were the "Chicago Eight"; they shrank to the "Chicago Seven" when Judge Julius Hoffman declared a mistrial on the conspiracy charges against Bobby Seale, a leader of the Black Panther Party, and sentenced Seale to four years imprisonment for contempt of court. The "Chicago Seven" included five significant anti-war leaders--David Dellinger, Tom Hayden (see above under Hayden and Lynd), Rennie Davis, Abbie Hoffman (see above under Hoffman and Raskin), and Jerry Rubin (see above)--and two minor figures, John Froines and Lee Weiner. Froines and Weiner were found innocent; the other five were found guilty of crossing state lines with intent to cause a riot, but not of conspiring to do so. The appeals court that overturned the guilty verdicts, in 1972, criticized Judge Hoffman for his behavior in the trial. Do not confuse the Chicago Seven, or Eight, with the Chicago Fifteen.

Other Famous Trials

Captain Howard B. Levy, M.D. was a U.S. Army doctor who refused to train Special Forces medics in dermatology. He believed that the Special Forces were so involved in war crimes in Vietnam that it would be improper for him to give them any training of any kind. A court-martial convicted him of willfully disobeying a lawful order, and trying to promote disloyalty and disaffection among the troops, on June 2, 1967, and sentenced him to three years at hard labor.
