New World Notes - Sir! No Sir! (First of 2 parts)
This week on New World Notes: radio program #328, June 17, 2014, from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m. (and on Wednesday from 8:30 to 9:00 p.m.), host Kenneth Dowst presents the first part of David Zeiger's fine 2005 video documentary (U.K. version), adapted to radio.
How rebellion by America's active-duty soldiers and sailors made the U.S. end the Vietnam War.
Current reflections by antiwar veterans and others--some famous, some obscure--mix with period newscasts, songs, and other recordings. The famous speakers include Army physician Dr. Howard Levy, Army "Green Beret" Sgt. Donald Duncan, and actor & activist Jane Fonda.
A fascinating--and little-known--bit of recent history. Could this happen again today?
This installment was originally broadcast in November 2009.
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "counter") of WWUH-FM, a community service of the University of Hartford.
