The difference between "in under a month", "in a month", "within a month"

Hi there,

I read an article on the Economist, in which a sentence goes "This was the third huge peaceful march to take place in under a month. " Can I use "in a month" or "within a month" to replace "in under a month" in here? Many thanks!

They all say about the same thing. Use whichever you like.

(Of course, the first two above shorten the time a bit.)
