One woman's struggle to come to terms with her husband's political suicide
Anne Morrison Welsh
In November 1965, an American Quaker called Norman Morrison set fire to himself on the steps of the Pentagon in protest against the Vietnam war. His widow Anne had to break the news of her husband's death to her young children. She only later found out that Norman had become a hero to the people of Vietnam. She tells Matthew Bannister how it took her nearly forty years to come to terms with his death and the effect it had on her family.
