Vietnam and the American Political Tradition: The Politics of Dissent. Ed. by Randall B. Woods. (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2003. viii, 324 pp. Cloth, $60.00, ISBN 0-521-81148-1. Paper, $20.00, ISBN 0-521-01000-4.)
Not all the anti–Vietnam War dissent was in the streets. As demonstrated by the impressive group of historians Randall B. Woods assembled for Vietnam and the American Political Tradition, the Senate was a hotbed of effective dissent, especially during the Nixon administration.	1
The historians who chronicled the lives and legislative activities of individual senators—Robert D. Johnson on Ernest Gruening, Thomas J. Knock on George McGovern, David F. Schmitz on Frank Church, Woods on J. William Fulbright, Donald A. Ritchie on Mike Mansfield, Kyle Longley on Albert Gore, and Fredrik Logevall on John Sherman Cooper—have been working on or around their assignments for years. Serving as bookends for their biographical approaches are thoughtful introductory articles by Frank Ninkovich on anti-imperialism and Woods on congressional views of international engagement on the eve of the Cold War and perceptive concluding articles by H. W. Brands on Lyndon B. Johnson and Congress and by Robert D. Schulzinger on Richard M. Nixon and Congress.	. . .
