Bush climbed the rubble where the World Trade Center had stood. Surrounded by shouts of anger, he said, \"The people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!\" With these words, Bush ushered in the War on Terror. Quickly, a global protest movement mobilized against it, reshaping the political, moral, and media landscape. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Jeremy Varon's \u003ci\u003eOur Grief Is Not a Cry for War\u003c\/i\u003e is the definitive history of that movement. Millions of Americans participated in thousands of acts of protest, from demonstrations to civil disobedience to peace encampments in Iraq. On February 15, 2003, up to 30 million people worldwide took to the streets in the largest protest in human history. But this enormous outcry was not enough to stop the US invasion of Iraq. Varon explores the limits to the movement's power but also shows how it worked to make opposition to the Iraq War a part of public debate, hastening its end and limiting the broader War on Terror. In the book, you'll meet the families of the 9\/11 victims, Iraq War veterans, and Gold Star families who spoke out against war. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Written with a lively and revelatory voice, \u003ci\u003eOur Grief Is Not a Cry for War\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the passion of the peace movement, the mark it made, and the enduring legacies of the War on Terror.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJeremy Varon\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of history at The New School in New York City.
