Description

Book Synopsis
Surveying the major antiwar artists, art collectives, and iconic works, as well as offering an original typology of antiwar engagement, this is the first comprehensive history of American artistic protest against the Vietnam War.

Trade Review
This is an accessible and informative book on a topic that has been less explored by art historians than it should be, relative to its importance, and that has escaped the attention of much of the art-going public, especially those who were not alive at the time. * Art Libraries Society of North America *
