As a leading antiwar figure in the 1960s, Tom Hayden wrote
extensively on Vietnam and was one of the small number of
Americans engaged in dialogue with both sides during the
Paris peace talks. As an Irish American, he spent ten years
supporting and writing about the peace process leading up to
the Good Friday Agreement. As a California legislator for
eighteen years, he devoted himself to writing about and
trying to prevent inner-city violence. Hayden remains a
stalwart antiwar activist, is credited with initiating the
2005 Congressional exit strategy hearings, and has
interviewed Iraqi exiles in the Middle East and London. His
urgent book comes from a patient understanding of how
conflicts end. Hayden argues that the Iraq war will end by the application
of people pressure against the pillars of the policy. A new
kind of antiwar movement, delineated in this groundbreaking
original work, can overturn those pillars. For the first
time in American history, he writes, an American majority
voted against a war in progress in November 2006. This is a
book for millions of peace activists, for the undecided
public, and for the 2008 presidential candidates as well.
