I have presented in this thesis a selective, descriptive analysis of fifteen Indiana anti-war radicals in leadership roles during the spring of 1971. After placing the radicals within a specific social movement, I have described selected background characteristics of the radicals, their beliefs on various aspects of confrontation politics, their structural form for grouping themselves for confrontation, their participation in an attempted traffic stoppage in Washington, D.C. during the first week of May, 1971, and other sociological material related to these young radicals.I have concluded in the thesis, in part, that a “new breed” of radical was to be found in leadership roles during 1971. This new breed of radical was found to come from a distinctly middle class background.Finally, I looked at the radicals’ thoughts about the future of the anti-war movement in relation to their participation in the future of that movement.
