Omschrijving
Nearly fifty years after the Vietnam War, the fight over how it is to be remembered in this country still rages. Central to that battle is the relationship between anti-war civilians and GIs, a relationship that is dominated by the enduring but utterly false myth of returning soldiers being spat upon by hippies and radicals. By telling, with vivid prose, the long-ignored story of the FTA show and its impact on the unprecedented movement of soldiers opposing the war, Lindsay Goss has created both a crucial historical corrective and an inspiring story of the power of art and performance in radical times.

A valuable contribution to political theatre discourse. F*ck the Army! addresses the complex dynamics of spectatorship and theatricality, offering a new and effective lens to think about theatre and activism in general. Her attention to the FTA show is singular in the field.
