"Cian" <co015d5200 at blueyonder.co.uk>...There's been a spate of articles in the UK press from the more "serious" neocons recently, attempting to convert us, or berate us...

You referring to Mark Steyn, for example, at The Spectator?

"Cian">...Adam Garfinkle (who he?) http://www.nssg.gov/About_Us/People/Study_Group_Staff/Adam_Garfinkle/adam_garfinkle.htm

Read a book of Garfinkle's, "Telltale Hearts: The Origins and Impact of the Vietnam Antiwar Movement, " a few yrs. ago, He works at FPRI, a conservastive think tank, that publishes Orbis, http://www.fpri.org/orbis/

http://www.google.com/search?q=Telltale+Hearts+Garfinkle was chosen as one of the New York Times Book Review's NOTABLE BOOKS OF 1995. ... www.discovermilitaryhistory.com/military2/0312125208AMUS263923.shtml http://www.jerrypournelle.com/reports/fpri/winning.htmlconcurrently, (yup, the sci-fi novelist) http://hubcap.clemson.edu/~eemoise/antiwar.html http://www.firstthings.com/ftissues/ft9603/public.html

Vietnam War Bibliography::The Antiwar Movement by Edwin Moise a major source for Gabriel Kolko, http://www.thenewpress.com/books/anatomy.htm , "Anatomy of a War: Vietnam, the United States, and the Modern Historical Experience."

with Tom Well's left-liberal acct. of same, from U.C. Press. Both are base oon externsive archival research and are quite readable. The Garfinkle concludes with a chapter on the anti-war movement in the period of the Gulf War of '91 and usefully reviews the split in the movement between the IAC led coalition and the left-liberal-pacifist sector that supported sanctions.

Another book, I read at the same time, which is also heavily sourced, which focuses more narrowly on the American intelligentsia and the Vietnam War, is in pb., " Apocalypse Then: American Intellectuals and the Vietnam War, 1954-1975. New York: New York University Press, 1998. Had a few quibbles over his framework, but, well worth a read. ". http://www.google.com/search?q=Tomes+Vietnam+War

This is more than just another book about the Vietnam War: Robert R.Tomes offers an intellectual history of the war on the home front. ... www.historycooperative.org/journals/jah/86.3/br_92.html (You have to sub to the JAH to read the review.) Michael Pugliese
