It gave voice to the majority of Vietnamese who did not take sides and who wanted the bombing to stop. The Catholic monk Thomas Merton described it as \u201can explosive little book\u201d with the power to show America that the more it continued to bomb Vietnam, the more communists it would create. It was Thich Nhat Hanh\u2019s first book in English and made waves in the growing anti-war movement in the US.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1088,"featured_media":156736,"template":"","topics":[],"genre":[],"class_list":["post-156735","pv_book","type-pv_book","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.plumvillage.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pv_book\/156735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.plumvillage.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pv_book"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.plumvillage.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/pv_book"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.plumvillage.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1088"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dev.plumvillage.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pv_book\/156735\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.plumvillage.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156736"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.plumvillage.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topics","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.plumvillage.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics?post=156735"},{"taxonomy":"genre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.plumvillage.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genre?post=156735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
