This panel discussion considers the most vibrant, diverse, and sustained
antiwar movement in U.S. history. What impact did it have on the conduct
and conclusion of the Vietnam War? Does it offer lessons for our own time?

Join the UMass Amherst Feinberg Series for a conversation with Daniel
Ellsberg, the whistleblower who exposed decades of government lies about
the war by releasing the Pentagon Papers; antiwar activists and
historians Carolyn Eisenberg and Nguyet Nguyen; and Vietnam veteran,
writer, teacher and activist W. D. Ehrhart. The award-winning filmmaker
Judith Ehrlich (*The Boys Who Said NO!*) will moderate.

Times *and eighteen other newspapers. In the decades since, he has been
arrested scores of times for nonviolent civil disobedience in opposition to
U.S. nuclear and foreign policy. His books include *Secrets: A Memoir of
Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers *(2002) and *The Doomsday Machine:
Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner *(2017).
