Lawrence, MA: Sun River Press,The Two Continents Publishing Group, 1973. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. [8], 148, [4] pages. DJ is in a plastic sleeve. Three viewpoints on the issue of amnesty: Arlie Schardt, Associate Director of the Washington National Office of the American Civil Liberties Union, supporting amnesty; William A.

Proclamation 4483, also known as the Granting Pardon for Violations of the Selective Service Act, was a presidential proclamation issued by Jimmy Carter in January 1977. It granted pardons to those who evaded the draft in the Vietnam War by violating the Military Selective Service Act from August 4, 1964, to March 28, 1973. It was implemented through Executive Order 11967. During the Vietnam War, hundreds of thousands of American men evaded the draft by fleeing the country or failing to register with their local draft board. Jimmy Carter promised during his presidential campaign that he would pardon draft evaders of the Vietnam War, calling it the "single hardest decision" of his campaign. He signed the proclamation on January 21, 1977, his first full day in office. The proclamation did not offer amnesty to deserters. More

Theodore George "Ted" Shackley, Jr. (July 16, 1927 – December 9, 2002) was an American CIA officer involved in many important and controversial CIA operations during the 1960s and 1970s. He is one of the most decorated CIA officers. Due to his "light hair and mysterious ways", Shackley was known to his colleagues as "the Blond Ghost". In the early 1960s, Shackley's work included being station chief in Miami, during the period of the Cuban Missile Crisis, as well as the Cuban Project (also known as Operation Mongoose), which he directed. He was also said to be the director of the "Phoenix Program" during the Vietnam War, as well as the CIA station chief in Laos between 1966 and 1968, and Saigon station chief from 1968 through February 1972. In May 1976, Shackley was made Associate Deputy Director for Operations, second in charge of CIA covert operations, serving under CIA director George H. W. Bush. After Jimmy Carter had succeeded Gerald Ford as President and replaced Bush with Stansfield Turner, Shackley was relieved of his post in December 1977, before officially retiring from the organization in 1979 – when the Carter administration announced wide cuts in the CIA's network of officers and informants. Richard A. Finney was a CIA case officer and training officer. More
