Among the sad legacies of the Indochina War are the thousands of young Americans who are no longer part of our society because they took an ""illegal"" stand against the conflict. Hundreds of draft resistors are servings their sentences in prisons across the country while thousands- fifty thousand in Canada alone- are living in exile from their homeland. This book raises the question of whether, when the War is over, these men should be set free. The issues raised here are not simple: Would amnesty imply an admission of wrong doing by the government? Can we expect obedience to the law in the future if we excuse some offenders? How do Vietnam veterans, members of the black community- and the resisters themselves - feel about amnesty?
