Baskir, Lawrence M. and William A. Strauss Chance and Circumstance : The Draft, the War, and the Vietnam Generation
New York, NY, U.S.A. Alfred A. Knopf 1978 0-394-41275-3 / 9780394412757 First Edition Hard Cover Good No Jacket
Green paper on boards, white cloth on spine. Volume is worn all edges, some light soil. Now in protective wrap. From the Foreword by Father Theodore M. Hesburch: "This is the first comprehensive study of the Vietnam generation, those millions of young Americans who came of age - draft age, that is - between 1964 and 1973, roughly the decade of the Vietnam war. Because of the unpopularity of that war, it may well be the only such study written, the single contemporary historical record, since the American people tend to put unpleasant and unsuccessful events far behind them as quickly as possible." From a Review: "An excellent study of the draft system as used in the Vietnam war. The authors examine eligibility, deferments, exemptions the 'deserters and draft resisters' ... a through study of the draft which affected, often profoundly, the lives of millions of American youths."
