A significant piece of Australian political history, Silence Kills presents the events and arguments that led to the historic Vietnam Moratorium march on 8 May 1970 — one of the largest public demonstrations ever seen in Australia. Written by Jim Cairns, then a Labor MP and one of the country's most prominent anti-war voices, the book details the moral and political case against Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War. With passionate conviction, Cairns argues that public silence in the face of an unjust war is itself a form of complicity, urging citizens to take a stand. The work stands as both a chronicle of a defining moment in Australian protest history and a powerful manifesto for peace and democratic accountability.
