The Women Behind the POW/MIA Movement
Last updated 2:08 PM ET
On today's "Hot Wash," we talk to the authors of a new book, “Unwavering: The Wives Who Fought to Ensure No Man is Left Behind.” It is the story of how the wives of Prisoners of War and those Missing In Action during the Vietnam War compelled the military and the US government to change policy and focused a nation on the unfinished business of a war it would rather forget. Symbolized by the rapidly ubiquitous black POW/MIA flags around the nation, the movement fundamentally changed how America thought about those lost in combat, and its obligation to those they left behind.
John Waters is a writer in Nebraska. His novel River City One publishes this fall.
