Inhaltsangabe

Reveals how wartime loss transformed U.S. politics well before, and long after, the war's official end, in a book where the author argues that the effort to recover lost warriors was as much a means to establish responsibility for their loss as it was a search for answers about their fate.

Aus dem Klappentext

Allen analyzes the effects that activism by POW and MIA families had on U.S. politics before and after the Vietnam War's official end. He argues that POW/MIA activism prolonged the hostility between the United States and Vietnam even as the search for the missing became the basis for closer ties between the two countries in the 1990s. Equally important, he explains, POW/MIA families' disdain for the antiwar left and contempt for federal authority fueled the conservative ascendancy after 1968.
