This map, derived from the suppressed issue of Scanlan Monthly's January 1971 census of domestic guerilla actions, is not exhaustive. Our selections are intended to convey the scope of action resisting the invasion of Indochina that is largely written out of the popular history of "hippies" with peace signs.
We also included a small number of attacks against the system, but no map of this scale could do justice to the intensity of attacks on police as well as, surprisingly enough, attacks on grade schools, largely by adolescents.
