No matter your feelings about the Viet Nam conflict, it's hard to believe we still allow Americans to do what Ms. Fonda did and get away with it. She made a good point commenting about the rice patties and the dikes and dams and the fact Americans were not to attack these areas because it would have created a food problem and floods. But she failed to acknowledge the Viet Cong took advantage of the action of our military and set up their guns in the area they knew the military would not bomb. This book lays out the legal reasons why she should have been tried as a traitor by our government. The book also names many others who visited and provided the Viet Cong with wonderful propaganda. Sure the conflict had a lot of questions and perhaps our government made a bad decision but we could have demonstrated and made the point of our disagreement rather than sitting behind a gun and smiling. I also read her book and her thinking about Viet Nam and other things. She admitted to knowing she made a mistake sitting behind the gun and she had other excuses but with her so called celebrity status she could have easily organized the other celebrities who visited the Viet Cong and made a point with our government through demonstrations and other methods. God only knows the media failed to provide us with the facts just like they are failing to do at present. So over 50,000 Americans died and many were seriously wounded and I wonder what they think about her and her other celebrity friends? Visit The Wall in Washington DC and ask yourself how our country allowed her to do what she did and now enjoy peace, success and long life while they are in their graves or still suffering from their injuries.

This text is a superbly written and seriously scholarly product that provides the fundamental basis, based on a foundation of thorough legal analysis of documented events, for formulating what amounts to an indictment of the behaviors of a traitor. The text is fascinating but nevertheless maintains a rigorous adherence to analyses of various data bases, and provides the reader with a fine example of integrated logic and reasoning in what could easily have been be a purely emotional treatise which typically characterizes much of the published articles concerning Ms. Fonda's behaviors in time of war.

I bought this for a friend who is a Vietnam Vet and hates Jane Fonda. So many things are sugarcoated now days and when one speaks of sins committed by people who are idolized, sometimes what that one says is minimalized. This give the vocal veteran proof for his disgust with Fonda.

There is so much stuff on the internet on Fonda that is just incorrect. The Holzers, Mark and Erica, have done the research and have written the facts on Fonda's traitorous acts along with other individuals who were harmful to America.
While some folks have decided to forgive and forget many more will never forget nor forgive. For those, this book will bring clarity to the many statements that are either false or misleading. I believe it is important to remind America and, especially, America's youth who should be learning history as it was. Again, "Aid and Comfort" does much to provide historical accuracy.

I would recommend this book to anyone old enough to remember the Vietnam War. I saw the photograph of Jane Fonda sitting on the VietCong gun with one of their helmet's on her head...and laughing. Even at the age I was at the time I knew that this
a grievous act against our country. We certainly knew that our soldiers were being held captive and being killed at their hands every day. WHY would she do this? I always wondered why....she still lives in this country, she raised her children in this country, she made her living in this country, and she is living out her 'golden' years in this country. To answer this question is why I bought this book and it answered the question and many more. Something I never knew was how many speeches she made and what she said. When you read this you will not understand why she was NOT held accountable for her treasonous behavior. I just don't understand. No, I guess I do understand but I don't like the answer. It's a must read but be prepared to be angry........very angry.

Mr. Holzer's description of the tortures and despicable treatment of all the Vietnam POWs rekindled the resentment I had for Jane Fonda & her ilk. He does state that the U.S. government had enough evidence to convict her of treason. To this day I cannot understand why she was not put on trial. The author does a good job of relating Jane Fonda's background and possible reasons why she was so easily hoodwinked by her European Communist friends.
Mr. Holzer also was fair in separating fact from fiction.

When the events in this book were current events, I was in SEA, and we didn't get all the news. We knew she and other performers were in Asia. We got the news of what she did through the grape vine, and it was hard to believe that someone who draped themselves in the American flag would denounce America, and put our troops in harms way. One of my assignments was to receive the PoW after their release. They were great guys, and were just happy to be free. When we got back to the States, we were spit on by young American who did not serve. We were confused about this. We did not expect this. Later we learned about what happened. Jane Fonda hurt the PoWs, but she hurt all who served as well, because the general public did not see the good that we did. Not everyone who goes to war is in the position to fight. Some of us were in the medical field saving lives, not only American troops, but Asian civilians as well.
This book brought the events into prospective and filled in the blanks. I'm sorry she had such a rotten childhood, but she brought that on herself by her interpretation of events, rather than excepting the wealth and position she was afforded. Most of the troops were from modest income families, and served with honor.
When people speak of our rights, they forget the responsibilities that go hand-in-hand with those rights. We have some rights that nowhere else on earth, but we also have chickens who deride the service man and women of our country who try to allow us the ability to keep those rights. Our rights are ONLY to the point that they do not impede on another persons rights.
Her actions were compared to that of General Benedict Arnold's. His accomplice was captured and hung, when he saw this he ran to the British and sailed to England never to return to America. Jane Fonda parades around America like she has a right to do this, and has never paid for her crimes. As long as families display a star in their window, as long as families have to bury their young heroes, we should not have to see her free, see her flout her money, and receive awards. We have homeless and disabled veterans to serve and honor. A good deal of the attitude towards veterans come directly from her act of war against the American troops. That's why we were spit on when we landed in California in 1973, not one of us were baby-killers.
About 10 years ago, I visited the PoWs that were in Vietnam. They are still haunted by the events of their capture - and she is still free, apparently unaffected by the whole thing.
