VIETDAMNED by By Clive Webb - An Author Event
Chapter 34
34 Brunswick Road, Shoreham-By-Sea, BN43 5WB
Join Clive Webb, for an evening speaking about his new book; Vietdamned, the untold story of the writers and philosophers who took on the United States government for its war in Vietnam.
Award-winning historian Clive Webb lays bare the extraordinary true story of the 1967 Russell Tribunal and its attempt to hold the US government to account for atrocities in the Vietnam War.
The revelations that came out of the tribunal shocked the world. Vietdamned is an eye-opening account of the anti-war movement, of cover-ups and abuses of government, and of the power (and limits) of celebrity.

‘Vietdamned is many things at once: a wonderfully well-told story rich with personal and political drama; an outstanding piece of scholarship informed by deep research and fine historical judgement; and a sensitive meditation on the moral demands of the individual conscience confronted by terrible injustice and human suffering.’
Hugh Wilford, author, The CIA: An Imperial History
