Songs of the Vietnam Conflict

James E. Perone

Offering the widest scope of any study of one of popular music’s most important eras, Songs of the Vietnam Conflict treats both anti-war and pro-government songs of the sixties and early seventies, from widely known selections such as Give Peace a Chance and Blowin’ in the Wind to a variety of more obscure works. These are songs that permeated the culture, through both recordings and performances at political gatherings and concerts alike, and James Perone explores the complex relationship between music and the society in which it is written. This music is not merely an indicator of the development of the American popular song; it both reflected and shaped the attitudes of all who were exposed to it.
