The Safe Return Committee in New York City sought amnesty for Vietnam War resisters, including deserters and draft evaders, through publicized actions.

In 1971, antiwar activists Michael Uhl and Tod Ensign established the Safe Return Committee in New York City with the aim of securing amnesty for individuals who resisted the Vietnam War. While thousands of young Americans sought refuge in Canada and Europe to evade the draft, Safe Return dedicated its efforts to supporting those who had joined the armed forces and subsequently opposed the war. However, upon donning the uniform, many encountered a harsh military justice system and systemic racism. As a result, they deserted in large numbers, with some even fleeing to foreign lands. This book chronicles the Committee's sponsored return of deserters and draft evaders through a series of highly publicized actions, aimed at garnering widespread support for their acts of resistance.
