Melvin Robert "Bom" Laird[2] (September 1, 1922 - November 16, 2016) was an American politician, writer and statesman.[3] He was a U.S. congressman from Wisconsin from 1953 to 1969 before serving as Secretary of Defense from 1969 to 1973 under President Richard Nixon. Laird was instrumental in forming the administration's policy of withdrawing U.S. soldiers from the Vietnam War; he coined the expression "Vietnamization," referring to the process of transferring more responsibility for combat to the South Vietnamese forces. First elected in 1952, Laird was the last surviving Representative elected to the 83rd Congress at the time of his death. Congressman Laird in this work has produced a clear and sober analysis of the foreign and military problems which trouble all Americans, regardless of their position or politics. A House Divided looks ahead to the time when American leaders will again base their strategy on our heritage and values in order to meet successfully the crisis of a world "half slave and half free." Why the strategy of initiative is the only way to peace with freedom is cogently argued by Congressman Laird.
