BETRAYED

America's Missing Prisoners of War
What Happened to Them?
Why Were They Left Behind?

By Joseph D. Douglass Jr.

• Over 30,000 Captured American's Never Returned - WHY?
• Hundreds Were Known to be Alive, Yet Abandoned - WHY?
• US Officials Have Hidden the Truth About Their Fate - WHY?

Betrayed  addresses these questions and more.

Thousands of men are missing. WHY? War crimes, atrocities, and human rights violations that rival those of Hitler's Germany, are involved. Excruciating details are provided by top-ranking Communist official, including the first ever description of Russia's MKULTRA program, in the interests of which thousands of servicemen were killed.

"any soldier left in Vietnam, even inadvertently, was, in fact, abandoned years ago- the farce that is being played is no more than political legerdemain done with -smoke and mirrors,- to stall the issue until it dies a natural death."

Col. Millard Peck: Head of the Defense Intelligence POW/MIA Office 1991

Betrayed  documents the events, the atrocities, and US efforts to hide information and silence critics, researchers, and family members.

Betrayed  uncovers  - Secret Hospitals - Russian Chemical and Biological Warfare Experiments - Illegal Transfer of US POWs - Elimination of POW bodies - Korea, Vietnam, and Laos - What Was Known - The Cover-Up - DIA, CIA, KGB, & GRU - US Deceit & Duplicity.

Betrayed  explains why the efforts to bring home even ONE of the 30,000 missing have failed, why hundreds may still be alive, and what needs to be done.

The author, Joseph D. Douglass, Jr., Ph.D., has worked in the national security field for forty years. He has taught at Cornell University, the Naval Postgraduate School, and Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. Dr. Douglass is widely respected for his studies of U.S. and Soviet nuclear strategy; Communist decision making; chemical and biological warfare; and the political origins of international narcotics trafficking. His last book, Red Cocaine: The Drugging of America and the West, has received international acclaim.

What those in the POW/MIA community say about Betrayed :

"As the wife of a man who did not return from being a known prisoner, Betrayed  answered the big question for me.  I... could never figure out the real reason for keeping the truth from the families... the men were just not important enough and were considered expendable by the U.S. government... a must read for every citizen who... wishes to keep our country free... easy to read... it keeps your attention."
Carol Hrdlicka
Wife of Col. David L. Hrdlicka captured in Laos, May 18, 1965.

"Betrayed  is a work of great consequence which illustrates the ultimate value of the best human intelligence."
John M.G. Brown, Combat Infantryman in Vietnam
Author Moscow Bound and Rice Paddy Grunt

"I shuddered as Czech Gen. Jan Sejna told me how the Communists used American POWs in the most horrendous medical experiments imaginable. I knew it was bad, but had no idea how bad. My anger exploded as I recalled the lies and stonewalls I had encountered, even as a Congressman, in trying to learn what had happened to my comrade who went down in the jungles of Vietnam and Laos and what was being done to find him, or not being done and WHY? Betrayed  is the first book to comprehensively tell what happened to thousands of our men who are still missing. Read it, it will break your heart to learn the truth about this darkest chapter in American history."
Robert K. Dornan
U.S. Congressman 1977-1997
USAF Fighter Pilot 1953-1961, Rescue Pilot 1964-1966, eight fact-finding missions to Vietnam 1965-1973, took wives and mothers of MIAs to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos

"ties together the pieces of the puzzle of Missing Americans from the Korean and Vietnam Wars who were transferred to the Soviet Union for intelligence and medical experiment purposes... a story that American needs to hear."
J. Thomas Burch Vietnam War, Army Special Operations
Chairman
National Vietnam & Gulf War Veterans Coalition 

"Betrayed shows how the abandonment of US POWs from Korea and Vietnam is the worst crime in American history."
John LeBoutillier
Former U.S. Congressman, NY

Author Vietnam Now

"unravels the mystery behind the U.S. government's refusal to acknowledge the sacrifice of American POWs who became "guinea pigs" for Communist regimes... a "must-read" for every American who cherishes truth and justice."
Red McDaniel, CAPT, USN (Ret)
POW, Vietnam, 1967-1973

"At least two copies of Betrayed  should be in every high school, college, and service school."
Norman A. Doney, Sergeant Major,USA (Ret.)
Special Forces Assn. and Special Operations Association.
POW-MIA Representative

"tells the true cost of freedom that some of our POWs paid... What really upset me is the way the U.S. Government has covered up this crime against God and mankind and has supported it by taking no action"
Danny "Greasy" Belcher, Infantry, 1st Air Cavalry, Vietnam War
Director, POW-MIA Task Force Omega

"Douglass... produces the facts and studies that demonstrates beyond a shadow of a doubt that our POWs were betrayed and continue to be betrayed... He adds the capstone to previous studies on the issue in such a way that you get the feeling you are reading the first study of the issue. Whatever you thought you knew about the issue before, be prepared... you ain't seen nothing yet.... A genuine chiller that adds new meaning to the word betrayed"
Larry O'Daniel, Combat Infantryman and intelligence officer in Vietnam War
Author Missing in Action (1979) and Trail of Deceit (1999)

"Swept under the rug by the US government, through meticulous research Dr. Douglass has turned over evidence revealing more horrific crimes committed by the Soviet regime and the East-Bloc countries...war crimes equaling or surpassing those carried out by the Japanese Unit 731 in Manchuria during World War II... Vietnam era POWs were sent by the Vietnamese communists to East-Bloc countries... drug-induced research experiments on American POWs."
Mike Benge
Vietnam War Civilian POW 1968-1973

"Betrayed   will be long considered one of the most important contributions to the body of POW-MIA research and reporting... correlates decades of deceit, classified operations, secreted personnel and facilities... what has occurred and why... the insider's view."
Andi Wolos
Director: AII POW-MIA, Inc.
