Reviews

?[r]ecalls and analyzes the sudden expansion of the antiwar underground GI press in the late 1960s.?-CJR Book reports

?[L]ewes demonstrates that the journalism of dissent linked civilian and GI antiwar protesters, empowered enlistees by breaking down their isolation, and filled a vacuum created by the mainstream media. Lewes enriches the book with a collection of gritty cartoons from the era and a time line of dissent within military ranks from 1965 though 1970. Highly recommended. Lower/upper-division undergraduates and graduate students.?-Choice
