An examination of the largely forgotten anti-war writing from West Germany spurred by the Vietnam War.Though the Vietnam War did not directly involve West Germany, it was nonetheless a decisive catalyst for the era's wider protest movements in that country, and it gave rise to an ardent anti-war discourse.
