Abandoned POW Family Members Tell Their Stories,
By Grammy (Marin County, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: First Heroes: The Pows Left Behind in Vietnam (Hardcover)
I met Rod Colvin in Washington, D.C. the year FIRST HEROES was published, over 20 years ago. My husband, a Navy A6 Intruder pilot, was an abandoned POW in North Vietnam. When I opened FIRST HEROES, I realized I knew or had met almost every POW family member Rod Colvin interviewed. The stories of U.S. and North Vietnamese lies and betrayal are heartbreaking because they reveal the truth about U.S. Government policy regarding American prisoners of war: POWs are expendable in pursuit of foreign policy objectives.President Richard Nixon left one-half of our POWs behind in Southeast Asia in 1973 and every president since Nixon has participated in efforts to withhold the truth from the American people. Read FIRST HEROES and you cannot help but feel compassion for the families and their abandoned and betrayed men who served us so loyally. Read AN ENORMOUS CRIME by Bill Hendon and Elizabeth Stewart and weep. There is overwhelming evidence that many still survive, It is truly a national disgrace.
