Description 104 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm Summary On 8 May thousands of people 'occupied the streets' to protest about the war in Vietnam. The Minister for Labour and National Service said 'it'is an invitation to anarchy'. The Prime Minister said they were 'storm troopers'. The Melbourne Herald said, 'Dr Cairns is on a perilous path'. The Melbourne Age said it was a 'dangerous protest', and decided that to believe 'that the street demonstrations will be non-violent seems naive in the extreme'. Why did they come? This book endeavours to explain why, with both text and photographs, together with a concise history of the Vietnam conflict.
