Why
Didn't You Get Me Out?: A POW's Nightmare in Vietnam
by Frank Anton
Frank anton went to Vietnam in 1967 to serve the country he loved.
Now, more than thirty years later, he tells the story of how his own government
failed him...
For give hellish years, American soldier Frank Anton was held as a POW
in Vietnam. Subject to disease, starvation, and physical and psychological
torture, Anton and his fellow prisoners held out hope that the U.S. government
would find and rescue them.
When he was finally freed in 1973, Anton returned to the United States
bruised and battered. And the most devastating blow of all had yet to even
be struck. Upon his release, Anton and debriefed by the government and
saw both aerial photographs of the prison camps where he was held and a
close-us picture of himself walking the grueling Ho Chi Minh Trail. The
government had known all along where and when Anton and his fellow soldiers
were being held--and made no attempt to rescue them.
now, in this harrowing first-person account and shocking expose, Frank
Anton recounts his years as a POW and the aftermath--devoting his life
to understanding why and how his own government left him and others to
suffer and possibly die in the Vietnamese prison camps. And the answers
he's uncovered will forever astound and disturb you.

James N. Rowe
When Green Beret Lieutenant James N. Rowe was captured in 1963 in Vietnam,
his life became more than a matter of staying alive. In a Vietcong POW
camp, Rowe endured beri-beri, dysentery, and tropical fungus diseases.
He suffered grueling psychological and physical torment. He experienced
the loneliness and frustration of watching his friends die. And he struggled
every day to maintain faith in himself as a soldier and in his country
as it appeared to be turning against him. "If you can read this story
and not weep, you are inhuman." The Cincinnati Post
