Inhaltsangabe:

An authoritative study of American POWs left behind in Vietnam after the war draws on twenty-five years of research, including declassified intelligence reports, satellite imagery, and personal interviews, to recount the fate of some seven hundred POWs that remained unaccounted for and that were held back by the North Vietnamese in 1973 after the U.S. government reneged on a wartime promise. 15,000 first printing.
