(Brentwood, Tenn.: Permuted Press, 2023).
This book tells of the relentless advocacy of Vietnam War-era POW/MIA wives, whose persistence outlasted repeated admonitions from the U.S. government to “keep quiet.” These women waged their battle against the backdrop of cultural, social, and economic upheaval, at a time when women could not obtain a credit card without a husband’s signature. Despite the stonewalling they encountered, the women took their case to the Paris Peace Accords and the world leaders there. They testified before Congress to demand an accounting for their men. Moving from the sidelines to the front lines of diplomacy, the women made the POW/MIA issue central to the peace negotiations, ultimately changing policy so “no man is left behind.”
