Last Seen Alive: The Search for Missing POWs from the Korean War

LAST SEEN ALIVE presents startling new evidence of Stalin-era war crimes that sealed the fate of thousands of men unaccounted for after the Korean War & more than 100 secret reconnaissance flights downed by the Soviets during the Cold War. Exclusive interviews with Russian veterans & newly declassified documents disclose the last live-sightings of Americans in the Gulag, China & North Korea. After Soviet search parties combed crash sites for survivors, Soviet intelligence officials were the last to see the American POWs they interrogated in Manchuria & the Soviet Union alive. Compelling evidence shows hundreds of American POWs, both officers & enlisted, were shipped to Manchuria & Siberia. The author's groundbreaking research spotlights decades of public & government apathy & inaction that prematurely declared thousands of POWs dead & failed to hold the Communists accountable. This is the first book to tell the full story of Korean War/Cold War MIAs & assess the work of the U.S.-Russia Joint Commission formed to investigate reports of Americans held in the USSR. This carefully researched work by an investigative journalist, war correspondent & Vietnam veteran is essential reading for veterans & their families, historians, students, government & military officials.
