Telltale Hearts - by Adam Garfinkle (Paperback)

About the Book

"Telltale Hearts" presents a devastating critique of the greatest myth of the '60s--showing how the protest movements not only failed to stop the Vietnam War but actually prolonged it. "An intensely felt, vividly written and bracing analysis".--"Washington Post Book World".

Book Synopsis

Adam Garfinkle convincingly demonstrates that the antiwar movement, even at its radical height, was of marginal value and at times actually proved counterproductive to stopping the Vietnam War.

"Garfinkle (Israel and Jordan in the Shadow of War), director of the Foreign Policy Research Institute's Middle East Council, convincingly challenges the commonly held view that the Vietnam antiwar movement played a major role in winding down the conflict in Southeast Asia." - Publishers Weekly
