This book discusses the influence of the anti-war movement had over American policy decisions affecting the Vietnam war, proposing that the movement had a significant impact on restricting, minimizing, or ending the war."[1] The book describes the domestic struggle over the war. Although neither definitive nor comprehensive, it does present the views of both sides on the events of the period after 1965.{{citation needed|date=September 2014}} ThesisThe book is an expanded version of Wells' doctoral dissertation in Sociology at the University of California, where he studied under political activist Todd Gitlin. In this study, Wells advocated the view that the anti-war movement was not a failure. He believed that, in fact, it "played a major role in constraining, de-escalating and ending the war." Indeed, in his opinion, the movement could have been more successful had its activists not failed to "appreciate their actual power." Wells developed his thesis in ten chronologically organized chapters. He devotes more than half of the work to the period of 1967-1970, in addition to analyzing the movement's public impact.[2] References1. ^{{cite web |first=Stephen |last=Ambrose |url=http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/49993/stephen-e-ambrose/the-war-within-americas-battle-over-vietnam |title=The War Within: America’s battle over Vietnam |publisher=Foreign Affairs |date=July 1994}} {{DEFAULTSORT:War Within}}2. ^O.Edmonds Anthony, [https://www.jstor.org/stable/494845?seq=2&Search=yes&searchText=The&searchText=over&searchText=battle&searchText=War&searchText=America%27s&searchText=vietnam&searchText=Within%3A&list=hide&searchUri=%2Faction%2FdoBasicSearch%3FQuery%3DThe%2520War%2520Within%3A%2520America%2527s%2520battle%2520over%2520vietnam&prevSearch=&resultsServiceName=null "], The History Teacher, May 1997 3 : 1994 non-fiction books|Vietnam War books|University of California Press books |
