 71: A White House at War\, a Revolt in the Streets\, and the Untold Histor
 y of America&rsquo\;s Biggest Mass Arrest</em></a>&nbsp\;is a vivid accoun
 t of the largest act of civil disobedience in U.S. history\, in Richard Ni
 xon&rsquo\;s Washington.</p>\n<p>They surged into Washington by the tens o
 f thousands in the spring of 1971. Fiery radicals\, flower children\, and 
 militant vets gathered for the most audacious act in a years-long movement
  to end America&rsquo\;s war in Vietnam: a blockade of the nation&rsquo\;s
  capital. And the White House\, headed by an increasingly paranoid Richard
  Nixon\, was determined to stop it.</p>\n<p>Washington journalist Lawrence
  Roberts\, drawing on dozens of interviews\, unexplored archives\, and new
 found White House transcripts\, recreates these largely forgotten events t
 hrough the eyes of dueling characters. Woven into the story too are now-fa
 miliar names including John Kerry\, Jane Fonda\, and Daniel Ellsberg\, lea
 ker of the Pentagon Papers. It began with a bombing inside the U.S. Capito
 l &mdash\; a still-unsolved case to which Roberts brings new information. 
 To prevent the Mayday Tribe&rsquo\;s guerrilla-style traffic blockade\, th
 e government mustered the military. Riot squads swept through the city\, a
 rresting more than 12\,000 people. As a young female public defender led a
  thrilling legal battle to free the detainees\, Nixon and his men took the
 ir first steps down the road to the Watergate scandal and the implosion of
  the presidency.</p>\n<p>Lawrence Roberts has been an investigative editor
  with ProPublica\, the Washington Post\, Bloomberg News\, and the Huffingt
 on Post Investigative Fund.&nbsp\;He was a leader on teams honored with th
 ree Pulitzer Prizes.&nbsp\;</p>\nhttps://alexandria.libnet.info/event/4447
