Zinn, publicly known as a leading national militant spokesman of the New Left, was the author of several books devoted to the Vietnam war. Ellsberg, a friend and associate of Zinn, participated with him in anti-war demon— strations. Zinn was arrested several times during his protest demon- strations in several areas of the US. He travelled to North Vietnam and was credited with effecting the release of American prisoners in his negotiations with Hanoi. He testifiied in court that the Vietnamese people were exploited by the French, subjected by Japanese invaders and welcomed the leadership of Ho Chi Minh and his CP. During the Pentagon Papers jury trial, Zinn stated that the "war in Vietnam was a war which involved special interests, and not the defense of the United States."
