Created by Saskatchewan activist and artist Bob Fink, this volume presents a collage of anti-Vietnam War protest documents. Although Fink claims to focus primarily on anti-war activities in Detroit, an array of articles, advertisements, and correspondence from Canadian and (primarily) American sources appears. The book's pages are an eclectic mix of excerpts, photocopies, and images in black and red ink gathered, designed, and printed by Fink as anti-war flyers. Of particular interest are declassified FBI documents discussing Fink and his art as subversive. Laid in are a 1982 issue of "Crosscurrents" (a monthly magazine printed by Fink) and a "Stop U.S. Intervention in El Salvador" rally flyer. Taped to the last page is a sheet of photocopied reviews of Fink's book from the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix and the University of Saskatchewan's The Sheaf.
