Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the 1974-1975 Presidential Clemency Program which was the result of national debates on clemency for Vietnam-era draft evaders and military deserters. The author, who chaired the Clemency Board, examines its administrative practices and procedures in the context of both contemporary and historical debates over amnesty. The author demonstrates how the program was a form of reconciliation that extended mercy and forgiveness, an act of national healing following a divisive period in American history. The Presidential Clemency Program demonstrates the evolution of amnesty in America, from an unconditional pardon, to the conditional pardons offered under this program.
