Title: Vietnam Pows-still missing
Review: I find "Betrayed" to be the best publicly available report on Vietnam era POWs. I speak as a former career Intelligence officer, Marine Corps Captain who served in Vietnam, and as an advisor to the Select Committee of the US Senate, which in 1990 was charged with looking into the POW/MIA disaster.Dr. Douglass brings impressive credentials to this book. He is a leading authority on Soviet era nuclear, biological , and chemical warfare, having taught on these matters at Johns Hopkins. He worked for Paul H. Nitze, former Secretary of the Navy, Ambassador, and confident of several U.S. Presidents.The POW/MIA question is complicated. Dr. Douglass is superb in his making sense of this complex mess. 'BETRAYED" is well worth a close read, if one has a serious interest in this dark history. The POW question is important today, as the Russians used many US POWs, mostly pilots, for complex medical experiments to create "Manchurian candidates", affect and change behavior.
