- Sam Brown was a leading activist against the Vietnam War.

He recounts his role in the Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam effort, the subsequent "New MOB," (New Mobilization Committee Against the War) and describes the negative effect of President Nixon's "silent majority" language on the Peace Movement.
