Summary: Guide for Understanding The P.O.W./M.I.A. Issue
Comment: This book by Dr. Douglass brings the light of truth to the abandonment of American Military Service Personnel by our government officials for political expediency. Working in this issue as an advocate, and having the priviledge to have been mentored by knowledgable people. I could not understand why things never added up. I and my mentors discussed the probablity of the things Dr. Douglass writes about. We actually believed we were simply speculating now that we see the proof in writing with the documentation to back up what is written. We now know why when any one gets close to gaining access to who really is behind the abandonment, pressure is brought to bear on them to stop looking. This book brings me to a conclusion that the lifelong state department employees care more about themselves than the welfare of the country or those who defend it.

Summary: The best book on the subject available
Comment: Dr. Douglass is eminently qualified to write this important historial account. His earlier book, Red Cocaine, documented in meticulous detail the connection between the communist states of the USSR and the PRC and the present drug problem. In this important book he outlines the connection between the Soviet state and the fate of our POWs from three wars-WWII, Korea and Vietrnam. In terrifying detail he explains how our POWs were used as human guinea pigs. His sources are not taken just from historial archives but directly from one of the highest ranking members of the Soviet system in charge of our POWs; a person he personally debriefed as a member of the intelligence community. Importantly, he continued to work with this high-ranking defector until the defector died some decades later. The story he was told was later confirmed by unforlding events and testimony of surviving POWs. Of equal importance is the information he learned concerning the Soviet's massive physopharmacological program directed towards destroying the West. In this day of narcoterrorism, all Americans need to know what is revealed in this important book. It is written in a clear style that makes this story comprehensible and fascinating. I recommend the book without qualification.

Summary: Of time lines and regimes
Comment: I was visiting Prague a few days before the Soviet tanks rolled in...as for "timelines," the regime in Czechoslovakia was "humanfaced" a mile wide, but an inch under the surface, plenty of military and other bastions of international (hardline Soviet) communism were extant. It could scarcely be otherwise: the Kremlin Politburo was not happy with the modicum of downplaying of repressive totalitarian goverance that the reformist element was able to gain over and against the iron power of the former, Soviet-controlled regime. It was as embarassing to the Soviet dicatators as the 1956 Hungarian popular uprising and the necessity for the 1960s Berlin Wall. Even so, the main institutional elements of the repressive Soviet system were left largely unconfronted by a reformist government gingerly treading by the "bear." Thus Dr. Douglass' "timeline" is indeed most accurate. Czechoslovakia's borders remained as permeable as ever to any business activities the hardliners deemed necessary--as expected from a member of the Warsaw pact. As for the book itself, it is true history, thoroughly researched, and a reminder that the false and illogical "religion" of communism became a refuge for an international criminal class of thugs (see also Douglass' "Red Cocaine," A. Golitsyn's "New Lies for Old," Stephane Courtois' "The Black Book of Communism," Rev. Richard Wurmbrand's "Marx and Satan," and Rev. Clarence Kelly's "Conspiracy against God and Man"), whose behavior put most of the worst of the capitalists' in a more favorable light.
