Some of the new and updated items available:
The 21 Turncoat GIs:
nonrepatriations and the political culture of the Korean War
Historical discussion of the reasons behind the 21 POWs who refused repatriation at the end of the Korean War.
Interesting Quote: " Brigadier General Haydon L. Boatner, famous for crushing the 1952 insurgency of Chinese and North Korean prisoners on Koje-do island, later judged that attempts to win over Chinese and North Korean dissenters unnecessarily jeopardized American prisoners and prolonged the war. Boatner noted that of the three years and 32 days of fighting, "two years and 17 days were spent holding 575 cease-fire meetings at Panmunjom, during which 18,000,000 words were recorded--most of them dealing with the prisoner exchange issue."
