An Enormous Crime: The Definitive Account of American POWs
Abandoned in Southeast Asia
, by Bill Hendon and Elizabeth A. Stewart

(Thomas Dunne Books, St. Martin’s Press)

In the Twentieth Century the United States fought three wars in Asia: World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. In all three, thousands of Americans were captured and became prisoners.

The fate of live American POWs in World War II was comparatively easy to establish, because the Japanese were vanquished, they surrendered unconditionally, and virtually all the territory they had occupied came under American or allied control. After the surrender, there were few, if any, places the Japanese could hide live American prisoners of war, nor any reason they would want to.

Not so in North Korea, China, and the Soviet Union.......
 

SOLDIER DEAD

"This superbly researched, beautifully written book should be read by every person in Washington with authority or responsibilities associated with American military forces and their families. This is a history that begged to be written out of loyalty to and respect for the American military men and women killed during their service in war or peace. No area of interest is left unexplored. This is an extraordinary book, written with compelling empathy, candor, and compassionate sensitivity."
—Harold G. Moore, Lt. General, U.S. Army, Ret., coauthor of We Were Soldiers Once and . . . Young: Ia Drang-The Battle That Changed the War in Vietnam
NEW May 2005

Life on a Short Fuse 
by Lt. Col. Jack Drain

This dramatic cover-up from the Vietnam War has waited more than forty years to be revealed.

Twelve U. S. Air Force fighter planes and twenty highly trained pilots were blown out of the sky near Danang, Vietnam, by US-made bombs with malfunctioning “short” fuses. Everybody knew about it, from the other fighter pilots to the Vietnam generals and higher military echelon, and surely all the way to President Lyndon B. Johnson.

  • Why was it never reported in the media? 
  • Why were these heroic martyrs brushed aside and forgotten?
  • Why was the manufacturer never named or called to account?
  • And why was the entire disaster covered up?

Life on a Short Fuse is a 240-page hardcover book plus 16 pages of documented photos
