Book Reviews of A Nation BetrayedBook Review: The Bo-Bo Show. Summary: 1 Stars
I fully agree with this reader's "Credibility lacking." Anyone gifted with in the field of military intelligence would certianly not go out and announce to the world wide news media that they were going on a secret mission to SEA (South East Asia) to rescue POWs and MIAs. When I saw this on TV, years ago, I almost cried because it destroyed what our government was trying to do to get the POWs or MIAs back. Not all governements are perfect but the USA is the best. How easy it is for some like this showman Gritz to put down our country in so many people's mind. I suggest reading Susan Katz Keating's book "PRISONERS OF HOPE" to fully understand the tricks James Bo Gritz used to dash any hopes of ever retreiving any POWs and MIAs from SEA. A man that served with this fella in RVN 1967.
Book Review: Why OUR POW"S ARE NOT COMING HOME Summary: 5 Stars
A bonified American Hero discusses what it was like in Vietnam from a Special Forces perspective and 4 tours of duty. Lt.Col. Bo Gritz exhibits selflessness and a strong sense of duty and patriotism not heard of frequently enough. How many would pass up promotion to Colonel and a cushy job to go on a mission for our government to seek out evidence of our POW's in extremely dangerous conditions. Following is information which is shocking, documentation of CIA drug dealing and effective bypassing of our congress and constitutional form of government. If interested, you may also enjoy Alfred McCoy's book "The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia" or the PBS documentary "Guns, Drugs and the CIA". Following this is an all too often seen tactic, when government officials are faced with charges and loads of supporting evidence, instead of answering the charges and evidence, go after the person who makes the charges, malign his character and his motivations, make false allegations, destroy evidence, and when all else fails, threaten with with jail or worse. This book, although a sad indictment on some in our government and issues involving our POW's, there is hope as long as there are true patriot's who will stand up for what is right.
Review by jakkkke, not "a customer", not sure how that happened.
