Between the Covers

Softcover. Anti-Vietnam pamphlet. [11] pp. Stapled at the top corner. Faint creases from being folded, a bit of light toning at edges, about near fine. A letter from nine protesters (David Nesmith, David Harris, Jack Nicholl, Ann Cohen, Paul Shannon, Margie Kolchin, Paul Ryder, Louise Bruyn, and Al Hurwitz) informing friends that they are enroute to Saigon to demonstrate at the US Embassy to spread the message "No More War, No More Lies," and to let the Vietnamese know that there are Americans who oppose the war. Attached to the letter is an Indochina Peace Campaign press release reporting on the demonstration. The report states that on January 24, 1975 the group protested for six and a half hours before agreeing with Immigration officials that they could return the following day if they went back to their hotel. After returning to their hotel armed guards swarmed the lobby and deported the group to Bangkok, Thailand, saying that they violated Saigon law. Also attached are biographies of the demonstrators and the leaflet they distributed at the Embassy.
