'In luminous prose and with incisive clarity, Salar Mohandesi's brilliant excavation of the rise and fall of radical anti-Vietnam War activism illuminates key strands of the 20th century: the power of Leninist anti-imperialism, the shifting shapes of internationalism, the rise of human rights, the appeal of self-determination, and the dynamics of transnational activism. Essential reading.' Barbara Keys, author of Reclaiming American Virtue: The Human Rights Revolution of the 1970s
