There was an American antiwar activist- Norman Morrison- who set himself on fire under the window of Robert McNamara's Pentagon office in protest of the American War in Vietnam. That happened in November 1965.

According to the "article" I read there were 3 self-immolators against the Vietnam War in America. The "burning bonzes" were 1963, South Vietnam. Halberstam's description of Quang Duc's self-immolation of June 11, 1963 is stunning; Halberstam, who was shocked, notes that Quang never moved a muscle, nor uttered a sound while he burned to ash in the middle of a busy intersection. Not for everyone, for sure.
