Abstract | "This book explores student war protests at three northern Appalachian universities during the Vietnam War era: Ohio University, the University of West Virginia, and the University of Pittsburgh. All three universities had robust ROTC programs, and Thomas Weyant looks at these programs, its students, and the war protests surrounding them. He discusses how ROTC student dissent and other student protests-far removed from the widely known atrocities at Kent State and the nationally covered student protests at American universities in the DC area-illuminates our understanding of the Vietnam War and its lingering effects on American society"--Provided by publisher. |
