Political science? Activist conscience! A must read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Last Seen Alive: The Search for Missing Pows from the Korean War (Paperback)
My brother is a casualty of the Korean War. He came back alive. He was never wounded, never captured. His patriotism was the casualty and his government the instrument of its death. What happened and how it happened will accompany him to his grave. Only the "why" can be understood from reading a book as good as Last Seen Alive.What John M.G. Brown did in Moscow Bound with only 144 references, Jolidon expands here with photographs, maps and transcripts of official documents, including a list of 510 names of American POWs taken into the Former Soviet Union-given to Senator Bob Smith (R-NH) by the Russian Federation officials in February 1992. The number of declassified documents unseen by POW activist and families continues to decline. In a year or two, as more is known, another edition of Last Seen Alive could be in order. A trickle of South Korean soldiers coming out today-in their 60s and 70s-is proof that it is possible for American POWs to survive the most brutal environments of North Korea and China. Soon, let us pray, an American will come out of the Siberian gulags of the FSU as a Japanese WWII veteran did in April 1998. "The best use of the truth about the events dealt with here is to light the dark pathways of the past, so that we can better see the future," Jolidon writes. What he is going for here is vital for our brave volunteers today and tomorrow. We should have learned to reject so much secrecy surrounding our POW/MIAs in Korea. The fact that we didn't resulted in a repeat of our mistakes in Vietnam and the Gulf War. Let each of us "light a candle"-the way Jolidon's Last Seen Alive did-and dispel the shadows of deceit. My brother may not understand my willingness to take on the USG to bring the men home, but it is the right thing to do. And with devine help, we'll get the job done.
