“Elise Lemire focuses on one of the most interesting protests in the latter years of the U.S.’s engagement in its war in Southeast Asia, when using the hallowed sacred spaces of the martial birthplace of the nation, a group of Vietnam vets sought to contrast what they understood as a disastrous, criminal war with what they understood as the founding principles of the nation.”

— Edward Linenthal, author of SACRED GROUND: AMERICANS AND THEIR BATTLEFIELDS

BATTLE GREEN VIETNAM is a vital piece of America's national history, written with passion and care. 

— Gerald Nicosia, author of HOME TO WAR: A HISTORY OF THE VIETNAM VETERANS' MOVEMENT

Elise Lemire offers a citizen's handbook on the importance of active participation in our democracy to keep it alive for future generations.

Powerful and beautifully written, this is one of the most important books to come out of the Vietnam War.
