Abstract
This article examines the experience of the 1000 or so Americans who sought refuge from the Vietnam War in Sweden between April 1967 and March 1973. At the time the public discussion surrounding these men was not easily disentangled from the larger political debate being waged between the right and left about the war, and such polemics ultimately distorted the media's reporting on the exiles. Above all, this politicised coverage exaggerated the war resisters’ adjustment problems in Sweden, and it also obscured the reality that many of the challenges that these men faced in exile were common to those of most newly arrived immigrant groups in Sweden during this period.
