Sommario/riassunto

Fewer Americans were captured or missing during the Vietnam War than in any previous major military conflict in U.S. history. Yet despite



their small numbers, American POWs inspired an outpouring of concern that slowly eroded support for the war. Michael J. Allen reveals how wartime loss transformed U.S. politics well before, and long after, the war's official end.Throughout the war's last years and in the decades since, Allen argues, 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.
