Nixon Now Podcast

What was the situation of the Prisoners of War and Missing in Action during the Vietnam War? What was it like on the home front where many of the wives and families were left wondering where their husbands and fathers were, and when they would return home? On this edition of the Nixon Now Podcast, we explore this topic with Heath Hardage Lee, author of the forthcoming book, “League of Wives: The Untold Story of the Women Who Took on the US Government to Bring Their Husbands Home.” Interview by Jonathan Movroydis.
