- Summary:
- The Movement and the "Madman" shows how two antiwar protests in the fall of 1969 - the largest the country had ever seen - pressured President Nixon to cancel what he called his "madman" plans for a massive escalation of the U.S. war in Vietnam, including a threat to use nuclear weapons. At the time, protestors had no idea how influential they could be and how many lives they may have saved.
