Abstract
In his recent book, Peace in World History, historian Peter N. Stearns concludes his sweeping history of peacemaking efforts by conceding the fragility of peace, but he adds that “we are better off having peace in our active political vocabulary” than not. The three articles compiled for this forum all examine U.S. peace activism during and following the Vietnam War, and they demonstrate vividly the challenges peace advocates faced in that era, the different ways they identified assaults on peace, and the broad “activist scripts” that they brought to their struggles. Read together, they suggest both avenues and obstacles for those promoting peace and change in the Vietnam era as well as today.
