Summary: Soldiers of Misfortune: The truth uncovered.
Comment: Mark Sauter and Jim Sanders found out what every author attempts to do in writing an expose': to get at the truth. It's a sorry fact that the Eisenhower administration knew it and chose to cover up their abandonment of our POWs from WWII and Korea. What is even more atrocious, is that to this day they, the USG, refuses to make any attempt to return our living POW's from Russia, China, North Korea and Vietnam. They have it figured out that if they horse around long enough, the men there will die and be forgotten. Well folks, that just ain't so! Sauter and Sanders have shined the light on this trashing of our Constitution and the memory of our brave men. They may die off in captivity, but their families have not forgotten them. The question of the Century is: Have the American People forgotten our long lost Soldiers of Misfortune?

Summary: Excellent!!
Comment: This is a hard-to-find documentation of bureaucratic "cynical attitudes" that allowed thousands of American POWs to be left in the Soviet Gulag after WWII. Families were not told the truth about the fate of their husbands, fathers and brothers, some of whom were seen the the Soviet Union camps as late as the fifties and sixties. It also reports how later wars, including Viet Nam, found American POWS spending their lives in Soviet imprisonment, as the US government denied it. Interestingly, James Sanders, one of the authors, wrote "The Downing of TWA Flight 800" a book which has caused him to face imprisonment in this country because he disagrees with the "cynical attitude" or rather the official position, that no missiles struck Flight 800 on July 17,1996, almost three years ago at the date of this writing.

Summary: A warning all young men should read before enlistment.
Comment: After reading this book and completing several years of research of my own to satisfy myself that what I was reading was factual, I find that I would not have served through three brush fire wars had I seen this information first. The lack of value washington places on a soldiers life is absolutely astounding.
