In 1971, antiwar activists Michael Uhl and Tod Ensign founded the
Safe Return Committee in New York City, seeking amnesty for those
who resisted the Vietnam War. While thousands of young Americans
chose exile in Canada and Europe to avoid the draft, Safe Return
worked on behalf of those who had come to oppose the war after
entering the armed forces. Once in uniform, many ran afoul of a
draconian system of military justice and institutionalized racism.
They deserted in epidemic numbers, some to foreign exile. This book
tells the story of the Committee's sponsored return of deserters
and draft evaders, in a series of actions widely publicized to
build public support for their acts of resistance.
