The Deferment

Bys: Friedlander, Noam and Silver, Darryl

From celebrated writers Darryl Silver and Noam Friedlander, The Deferment is a fast-paced, heartfelt debut that shows how a split-second choice can rewrite everything.

On August 26, 1965, everything changed. That night, President Lyndon Johnson announced an Executive Order granting Vietnam draft deferments to married men--but only if they tied the knot before midnight. The race to Las Vegas chapels was on.

The Deferment is a riveting, fictionalized story rooted in true events and real people. Brimming with heart, humor, and raw emotion, it captures the chaos of impulsive decisions colliding with history. Against the backdrop of the Vietnam War and a nation in flux, this unforgettable debut explores how one choice--made in the heat of the moment--can alter the course of a lifetime.
