March 29, 2023, marks the 50th anniversary of the withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam. It hardly seems possible that it has been nearly 50 years since the Vietnam War was at its zenith. In 1998 author James L. Dickerson went to Canada to meet with and interview Americans who had gone to Canada in opposition to the war in Vietnam. This is a revised and updated edition of the book that was published in 1999, made even more poignant by the realization that today America''s crumbling democracy is likely to send a new wave of Americans to Canada in search of freedom and a better way of life.At the time of the Vietnam War, if you had asked those who fought against the war-and those who fought in the war-if the day would ever come when it would cease to matter, you would have been greeted with derisive laughter. The Vietnam War, whether you were for it or against it, is who we were then -and still are today, if you are old enough to remember it. In this new updated and revised edition of this American-Canadian history book, author Dickerson answers the question: whatever happened to the men and women who went to Canada? Incredibly, only 7 million of Canada''s current 38 million population are of an age to have any memory of the thousands of American war resisters and deserters who fled to Canada during the Vietnam War. That''s because, according to Statistics Canada, 31 million Canadians living today were born after 1957, too young to have been influenced by the arrival of Vietnam War resisters.That is of current interest because of the belief of many political observers that disillusioned Americans will once again flood into Canada in the years ahead as American democracy is threatened by those who strive to install an authoritarian style of government in the United States similar to those that rule Russia, China, and North Korea. If that happens, Canada will be one of the few democracies left in the world. Ironically there may come a time when the sons and daughters and grandsons and granddaughters of American war resisters may be called to fight a war against an authoritarian Dis-United States of America in need of Canada''s natural resources.With contextual information regarding the polices of both the U.S. and Canadian governments toward the war and its resisters, Dickerson offers evidence that a generation of America''s "best and brightest" was lost to Canada. His inclusion of female resisters contributes a new perspective to the debate that continues to rage almost 50 years after the last American troops in Vietnam were sent home to an ungrateful nation to resume their lives amid the destruction caused by the war.

Furniture gives the room the warmth and feeling of its kind. Ever entered a room without furniture in it?

It makes the room full of life and glamour. However, it is not all about the furniture but the look of the furniture. How well furnished is the furniture in your room?
