The small antiwar movement grew into an unstoppable force, pressuring American leaders to reconsider its commitment. Peace movement leaders opposed the war on moral and economic grounds. The North Vietnamese, they argued, were fighting a patriotic war to rid themselves of foreign aggressors. The anti-war movement not only happened in US territory but also in warfare. This book is a novel about enemies working together in Vietnam. Three Army enlisted men, led by an anti-war second lieutenant, were ordered on a dangerous patrol in Vietcong-infested territory to support a nearby American regiment. Senior officers expected them to die as happened to the previous patrol. In order to save their lives, the lieutenant sought a truce with an enemy village.
