"American Deserters in Montreal" by Roger Williams, Boston Sunday Globe, June 28, 1970

This article explains how American deserters in Montreal, Canada formed the American Deserters’ Committee. The deserters had left the U.S. because of their opposition to the Vietnam War. In the article, many deserters shared personal stories about leaving the U.S. military. The group helped newcomers find housing, jobs, and a sense of community and positioned itself as part of a larger anti-war political movement in exile.
