desperately and persistently tried to influence people’s minds and stop the merciless war. The
author’s choice to combine a historical approach with a passionate (and undoubtedly thorough)
visual analysis of the most influential paintings of the time makes Kill For Peace an outstanding
and distinguished academic achievement. Those concerned with the Vietnam War, the art
created during that era and, indubitably, visual analysis must read this eminent book.
