The Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) started in 1967 with six Vietnam veterans
marching for peace in New York City. The purpose of the organization was to give voice to the
returning servicemen who opposed the on-going war in Southeast Asia. From six soldiers in
1967, the ranks of the membership eventually grew to over 30,000. This publication consists
of FBI reports dealing with every aspect of antiwar work carried out by the VVAW. The
collection also includes surveillance on a variety of other antiwar groups and individuals,
with an emphasis on student groups and Communist organizations.
