Summary: Dedicated to the real heroes of Vietnam!
Comment: Deceived by the government, about the fate of its other lostsons. Now, the compelling story of the fate of POWs is revealed in horrifying detail in The Men We Left Behind. The Men We Left Behind reveals that it was neither peace, nor honor, but blackmail and dishonor.

The Men We Left Behind is the definitive expose of this despicable fraud. The book includes compelling personal stories of individual POWs who were caught behind enemy lines and Pentagon lies. The authors name these POWs and tell their tragic stories.

The Men We Left Behind reveals how the Senate POW Committee, chaired by Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, in an effort to rush theCommittee's investigation and open trade with Vietnam, covered up the true story and protected Henry Kissinger and other U.S. officials as they concealed the truth.

Confirmed by interviews with returned POWs, sources within the KGB, The Men We Left Behind is a shocking indictment of Henry Kissinger, Richard Nixon, the Department of Defense and the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs.

Rating: 5
Summary: Outstanding book on the POW/MIA Issue
Comment: This 1993 book covers the POW/MIA issue from World War II through the Paris Peace Accords to the corruption in the 1991-1992 Senate Select POW/MIA committee. Sauter and Sanders expose the fraudulent POW/MIA "official" positions taken by the U.S. government.

The number of documented examples along with critical analysis puts this book way ahead of those books supported by the U.S. government. If you want to see solid documentation on the biggest scandal of the century then this book is a must read.

Summary: Another piece of pseudo-history regarding missing servicemen
Comment: The issue of American servicemen who are missing in action in WW II, Korea, and Vietnam, continues to be plagued by books, articles, websites, and organizations that spread pseudo-history, misinformation, inaccuracies, and falsehoods. This book is one of the landmarks of that genre. Sauter and Sanders selectively quote from official records, cite unidentified sources, cite sources whose stories have been completely refuted, and generally weave a tale that, while it sounds convincing, is nonsense to the core. Co-author James Sanders' latest caper (in 1997) was to use his wife's connections to gain access to the wreckage of TWA flight 800 where he removed a piece of fabric from a seat. He claimed that the red substance on the fabric was missile fuel, proving that TWA 800 was shot down by a US missile. He has even published a book on the subject. TWA, the FBI, and the company who manufactured the seats have all pointed out that the substance is the adhesive used to attach the fabric to the seat cushion. "Men We Left Behind" is based on similar "scholarship." For example, to support their claims that thousands of US POWs were abandoned to the Soviets at the end of WW II, Sanders cites a message sent in April 1945 from a British commander in the Ukraine, reporting that approximately 14,000 Allied troops were under the control of a Soviet general. Because 14,000 Allied POWs were not repatriated from the Ukraine, Sanders concludes that these men were abandoned to the Soviet gulag. Sanders conveniently overlooks a follow-up message from the US National Archives in which the same British commander reports a few days later that his first message was in error. In fact, there were 14,000 Russian troops under Allied control. When I pointed out this fact to Sanders, he accused me of fabricating the second message. "The Men We Left Behind" is nonsense. Sadly, though, it perpetuates the pseudo-history that surrounds the MIA issue. For a serious look at this subject, read H. Bruce Franklin, "M.I.A.: Mythmaking in America," Susan Katz-Keating, "Prisoners of Hope," Malcolm McConnell, "Inside Hanoi's Secret Archives," and Paul Mather, "M.I.A.: Accounting for the Missing in Southeast Asia." All four of these books are available from Amazon.com.
