The book deals ostensibly with the March 1967 anti-Vietnam War March on the Pentagon in Washington DC. However, as with many of Mailer's works, the true subject of the book is Mailer himself. Placing himself on center-stage, flaws and all, Mailer recounts the events leading up to the March as well as his subsequent arrest and night in jail.
