At a time when the average person may take dozens, if not hundreds of high-quality photos every week, it’s hard to imagine the paucity of reproducible photographic images from 50 years ago. So I’m particularly thankful to the Stanford Historical Society, the Stanford University Archives, and the Stanford News Service for retaining and making available most of the images in Disturbing the War, as well as the Movement photographers who held on to their pictures.
Lenny Siegel
Many photographs shown in Disturbing The War have been provided courtesy of Stanford University where they are archived in various photographic collections and made available in the Stanford Digital Repository under the auspices of Stanford Libraries, Department of Special Collections & University Archives, Stanford University, Stanford, California.
Many other photographs and graphics are from the A3M Historical Archive, located on the April Third Movement Web site.
All the photos and images in this book have been reprinted with permission from the creators or institutions that provided them.

It didn’t make headlines, but much of the Movement’s activity consisted of people sitting in circles, talking, listening, and thinking. This may have been the affinity group to which Lenny belonged, the David Starr Jordan Anti-Imperalist League, at the May 12, 1969 A3M Carnival. Lenny is the one with sunglasses on his head.

Lenny Siegel created this poster illustrating the military contracting and other work done in the Stanford Industrial Park, produced during the Spring, 1970 Cambodia Strike. In 2016 Lenny showed it to residents of the adjacent College Terrace neighborhood as the Movement pressured Stanford to be more protective of future residents of faculty housing being constructed on Site #1.
