The Only Woman Left Behind

on BBC Radio 4 FM

In January 1973, President Nixon signed a ceasefire agreement with North and South Vietnam. Operation Homecoming marked the withdrawal of all US troops and a promise that, within 60 days, all those missing would be accounted for. Twenty-six years later, over 2,000 men are still missing, as well as one woman - Dr Eleanor Ardel Vietti , the only woman left behind. Journalist Maggie O'Kane tells her story.
