Soldiers of Misfortune is a well-documented book about thousands of abandoned American POWs. They were held captive by the USSR while the U.S. government officials lied about their fate.
The State and Defense departments have been under control of the liberal-fascist Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) since WW2. Globalist political considerations always outweigh any concern over a few expendable POWs or other "collateral damage".
Eisenhower was a CFR member from 1949-68, including his term as NATO Commander and as President. Westmoreland was a CFR member from 1961-73 during his term as Army Commander in Vietnam, then Chief of Staff.
Thanks for the heads up about the book! I will gift it to friends who need educating about the POW issues.
Check out David Halberstam's "The Coldest Winter" read by Scott Brick. The narration is excellent. I try to spare my eyes for all the tech and science reading I have to do for work.
Michael Malice's new book "The White Pill" would make a good companion to the book you review. In part, he covers how the western media and governments and elites covered up the atrocities that were happening in the Soviet Union, not just on prisoner's of war, but on their own people. They propagated a lie that Stalin was a good leader, and that "there is nothing to see here".
Excellent excellent post. Thank you. This issue has bothered me since childhood. My uncle was shot down over Germany and spent the war in a Stalag in Germany. He did make it home and participated (without pay & with little recognition) in the making of Stalag 17. I will never forget attending the premier as a young child. On studying American history there is very little on the real forces behind the politics of POWs. The overall takeaway however is a chilling one.

What a sad and infuriating tale! There is a lot our "leaders" will have to atone for after this world!
I think I read this before. Need to check.

Thank you for reviewing this book.
Back on Christmas Eve I had a cva and have been recovering ever since.
Believe me, this is better than staring at a blank login screen, unable to remember a simple password.
Thank you.
