1965: While President Lyndon Johnson sends the first ground troops into battle in Vietnam, The Viet-Nam Reader, edited by Marcus Raskin and Bernard Fall, is published, becoming the basic text of the teach-in movement.

      

1967:By the time over 450,000 US troops are in Vietnam, Marcus Raskin co-authors with Arthur Waskow "A Call to Resist", which becomes a manifesto against the draft and leads to Raskin's indictment with Dr. Benjamin Spock as a "co-conspirator".

          

1968: when US combat deaths exceeded 19,000, Richard Barnet's Intervention and Revolution is published, serving as a theoretical foundation for the anti-war movement.
