Lucy G. Barber has taken different stories and woven them together so that each builds into a larger narrative about the history of political protest. By looking across a series of marches, Barber explores issues that escape more focused studies, such as the development of marching on Washington as a political strategy, and the changing conception of Washington as a public space. The scope of the research and the author's craft in telling these stories sheds new light on important moments in American history."—Mary L. Dudziak, author of Cold War Civil Rights

Abstract: The rise of a conservative ideology within a broader New Right Movement in the United States is well documented among scholars of domestic U.S. history. That said, historians so far largely have ignored how foreign policy in general---and the Vietnam War in particular---both elevated and shaped conservatism as a leading political tradition. Debates over foreign aid, war strategy and tactics, the draft and Antiwar Movement, and Vietnamization shattered the New Right into warring camps, even as these issues drew the attention of the American electorate to the New Right as a whole. By the mid-1960s, conservatives ranging from intellectuals to media figures won preeminence within the broader New Right, not simply because of their views on domestic policy, but also as a result of their persuasive articulation of an evolving ideological position on these foreign policy issues. This dissertation will present an intellectual history of conservatism to argue that domestic debates about the Vietnam War gradually redefined the emergent philosophy as a politics of natural law theory, one well situated within the broader context of American and Western political philosophy.

The Columbia Guide to the Vietnam War available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. More than a quarter of a century after the last Marine Corps Huey left the American embassy in Saigon, the lessons and legacies of the most divisive war in twentieth-century American history are as hotly debated as ever. Why did successive administrations choose little-known Vietnam as the "test case" of American commitment in the fight against communism? Why were the "best and brightest" apparently blind to the illegitimacy of the state of South Vietnam? Would Kennedy have pulled out had he lived? And what lessons regarding American foreign policy emerged from the war? The Columbia Guide to the Vietnam War helps readers understand this tragic and complex conflict. The book contains both interpretive information and a wealth of facts in easy-to-find form. Part I provides a lucid narrative overview of contested issues and interpretations in Vietnam scholarship. Part II is a mini-encyclopedia with descriptions and analysis of individuals, events, groups, and military operations. Arranged alphabetically, this section enables readers to look up isolated facts and specialized terms. Part III is a chronology of key events. Part IV is an annotated guide to resources, including films, documentaries, CD-ROMs, and reliable Web sites. Part V contains excerpts from historical documents and statistical data.
