Book Description:
|
Prisoners of war (POWs) have featured in virtually every conflict that the US has engaged in since its revolutionary beginnings. This book chronicles the fortunes of American POWs held by enemy states and compares that with how America treated the POWs that it captured in the wars and anti-colonial insurgencies of the 19th and 20th centuries.
