Summary: Sybil Stockdale was a mild-mannered Navy wife who would become one of the most important and effective activists in American history. Her organization, The National League of Families, fought for nearly a decade to bring home POWs held by North Vietnam. These remarkable women defied the Government itself to bring their husbands home. Our guest is historian and curator Heath Hardage Lee, author of the new book League of Wives: The Untold Story of the Women Who Took On the U.S. Government to Bring Their Husbands Home.
