Abstract
In the late 1960’s, like most anti-war activists I viewed Vietnam almost as an abstraction. I admired the courage of the guerrillas and the fortitude of the people in standing up to the most powerful military machine that the world had ever seen. But I knew little about the country itself beyond what I had read in 1965 in the article by Kahin and Lewis in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. To most of us in those years “Vietnam” was the name of a war, not a country.
