Peace Not Terror: Leaders of the Antiwar Movement Speak Out Against U.S. Foreign Policy Post 9/11

In some ways, this is a sequel to Robbins' previous book, Against the Vietnam War: Writings by Activists, which collected writings against that war by such figures as Noam Chomsky, historian Howard Zinn, labor activist and academic Staughton Lynd, the late peace activist and Chicago Seven defendant Dave Dellinger, and cultural historian H. Bruce Franklin. All of these figures reappear here, this time in writings opposing the US invasion and occupation of Iraq, together with other writings from such figures as peace activist David Portorti, veterans advocate Charles Sheehan-Miles, Riverbend of the Iraqi blog Baghdad Burning, veteran's rights lawyer Tod Ensign, Iranian anti-imperialist and academic Mansour Farhang, and members of Iraq Veterans Against the War.
