Nearly all of the renunciants eventually sought restoration of their citizenship, including those who expatriated to Japan.
Most regained their citizenship primarily due to the heroic but little-known efforts of Wayne Mortimer Collins, a civil rights attorney who convinced the federal courts that the renunciants citizenship should be restored because the renunciations took place under extreme duress and amidst impossibly difficult circumstances.
Collins wound up fighting the Department of Justice over 20 years to help former renunciants reclaim their citizenship.

 George Locke- Wells in Three Volumes? A Sketch of British Publishing in the 19th Century
One, however, stands out as representing a kind o science fiction that could have benefitted from the three-decker long novel concept, the anonymous Annals of the Twenty_Ninth Century (3v, 1874), which for all its lack of style, is a speculation of Stapledonian magnitude.
The yellowbacks, which began to develop mid-century and continued into the early 20th century, contributed little to the development of science fiction.
A large proportion, particularly those published after 1870, were reprints of books previously published in cloth, Although titles like Hugh MacColl’s Mr Stranger’s Sealed Packet, Collins’ Transmigration, and Arnold’s Phra the Phoenician had yellowback editions, very few original yellowback SF works have so far been located.
