{{dc|dc=O|n a in weekend in October of 1967,}} tens of thousands of demonstrators

amassed in Washington DC to protest the war in Vietnam. Intending ''The Armies of the Night: History as a Novel, The Novel as History'' (1968) to record and commemorate this eventful weekend, Norman Mailer enlarged the march on the Pentagon’s meaning, working as a novelist to make it more

than a four-day set of tremors in the nation’s capital. Some consider the

march a watershed moment, “the first in a chain of events that led to Lyndon

Johnson’s decision . . . to deescalate in Vietnam” (Small ). Mailer’s

nonfiction novel carefully examines this defining event of American history.

Through Mailer’s dual role as a demonstrator and narrator, readers are provided

a rich witness to the many obstacles that were set before marchers in

the form of a biased media and government officials opposed to the peace

movement, including the military and police whose physical abuse is featured

in the novel.
