Title: Until the last man comes home
Subtitle: POWs, MIAs, and the unending Vietnam War
First published: 2009
Description: Despite their small numbers, American POWs and MIAs inspired an outpouring of concern that slowly eroded support for the war. Bringing exhaustive archival research to an arena where Americans consistently struggled over the causes and consequences of their nation's defeat in Vietnam - the recovery of lost warriors - Michael J. Allen reveals how wartime loss transformed US politics well before, and long after, the war's official end.
