He fought in an unwinnable war. He came home to an uncertain future. When fighting for peace brands him a terrorist, what can one man do to end the war now? San Diego 1968. Vietnam War Navy pilot Lt. Tom Beckett follows beautiful anti-war protester Kate McCarthy to Berkeley and finds himself questioning his naval service as he gets pulled deeper into the anti-war movement and falls deeper in love with Kate. The more he learns about the atrocities of the war he fought in and the senseless killing of thousands of U.S. servicemen, Tom's patriotism morphs into an obsessive mission to end the war. He travels with Kate and protestors to the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention and leads peaceful marchers into a violent attack by police. Beaten badly and furious at the government's refusal to acknowledge peaceful protest, he questions how non-violent tactics could end the war. Once a by-the-book boy scout, Tom leaves Kate to lead an underground bombing cell in New York City, hoping to draw public and government attention to the war through destruction of property. In this epicenter of counterculture, he meets leaders of a movement bent on upending the world order through violence. But when his leader targets civilians, Tom struggles to stop plans for murder. Forced into hiding and labeled a terrorist, can he avoid prison and find his way back to Kate? At a time when young war protestors were ridiculed for their opposition to an unwinnable, politically driven war, Fighting for Peace tells the story of one man's journey from patriot to terrorist and back again.
