As such, the authors had unlimited access to Department records, debriefs, interviews, etc. It is the go-to book for anything related to the POWs, throughout SEA. Broad in scope; it is the most authoritative book on the subject. Appendix 3 is the official roster of US Personnel Captured in SEA, 1961-1973; and includes service, capture and release dates, as well as Status. I worked and studied POW issues for over 30 years; this was upon publication greatly welcomed and still remains as one of the core books for study and reference by anyone involved in POW/Hostage affairs.

Portraits. Footnotes. Notes. Bibliography. Index. DJ has small tear at back. The author held various historical and research position with the U.S. Corps of Engineers Historical Division, The Johns Hopkins University, American University, and the American Institutes for Research. She was the author of or collaborator on numerous military-political studies relating to war and conflict. This follows the evolution of the Office of the Secretary of Defense from the outbreak of the Korean War to the end of the Truman presidency in January 1953. This volume assesses how well the Secretaries of Defense met the challenges of the Korean War. In a narrative rich in both documentary detail and broad-brush perspective, The Test of War assesses how well the secretaries met these challenges. Success or failure depended not only on their effectiveness in managing the Pentagon bureaucracy, in particular their interaction with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the still parochial-minded military services, but also on the relationship with Truman, Secretary of State Dean Acheson, and a contentious Congress unhappy over the firing of MacArthur, the pace of mobilization, and the progress of the war generally.

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. xiii, [3], 704 pages. Illustrated endpapers. Illustrations. Footnotes. Appendices. Notes. Selected Bibliography. Index. DJ has wear, soiling, and tears and chips at the back. Combines rigorous scholarly analysis with a moving narrative to record in detail the triumphs and tragedies of the several hundred servicemen and civilians who fought their own special war in prison camps in North and South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Stuart I. Rochester (November 24, 1945 - July 29, 2009) was the chief historian for the United States Office of the Secretary of Defense and author and co-author of several books, including a notable account on American prisoners of war in Southeast Asia. Rochester was an authority on the comparative national defense policies of post-WW II presidential administrations. Frederick Kiley, a USAF veteran of the Vietnam War with a Ph.D. (University of Denver), taught for years at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. From the Publisher: The authors trace the capture and movement of U.S. servicemen and civilians through jungles and jails from the Mekong Delta to Hanoi and west and north into Cambodia, Laos, and China. They cover the rationed food, cramped and rat-infested cells, bricked windows, and camps laced by barbed wire that were the daily lot of American POWs. They address a wide range of subjects from the physical ordeal of torture to the psychological challenges of indoctrination, exploitation for propaganda purposes, and the mere passing of time under the most adverse circumstances. In examining the lives of the prisoners in captivity, the book presents a vivid, sensitive, sometimes excruciating, and even humorous account of how men sought to cope with the physical and psychological torment of imprisonment under wretched and shameful conditions.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fair. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Format is approximately 7 inches by 10 inches. xi, [3], 667, [3] pages. Illustrated endpapers. Illustrations (Photographs, Charts and Tables). Fold-outs List of Abbreviations. Notes. Note on Sources and Selected Bibliography. Index. DJ is quite worn, torn and soiled. The first volume in an important new series that will provide a comprehensive history of the Office of the Secretary of Defense traces the evolution of OSD from its establishment in September 1947 to the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950. As the title indicates, these were years of beginnings that ushered in the present-day era of service unification and saw the development of polices and programs that would have lasting impact on national security. The book opens with the swearing-in of the first Secretary of Defense, James Forrestal, who faced the dual challenge of effecting unification of the armed forces and of reconstituting U.S. defense policy to meet an increasing array of problems and threats abroad, with the Cold War with the Soviet Union heading the list. His successor, Louis Johnson, had the benefit of amendments in 1949 that enhanced the secretary's power. Johnson confronted fierce interservice competition for scarce funds, and deeply divisive quarrels, especially between the Air Force and the Navy, over the assignment of roles and missions. A series of chapters on the making of the defense budgets for the period strikingly illuminates the intricate relationships among strategic policies, military programs, roles and missions, and money. A richly documented volume, it draws on a wide variety of primary and secondary sources to present a commanding account of the evolution of both defense organization and national security polity during the critical post-World War II years. Rearden's volume implicitly raises larger historical issues. To mention one: Defense officials, repeatedly exasperated over the failure of higher authority to articulate United States foreign policy, faced an uncomfortable choice between guessing it in order to plan for contingencies and looking foolish by failing to have contingency plans ready. The first volume in an important new series that will provide a comprehensive history of the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), The Formative Years traces the evolution of the OSD from its establishment in September 1947 to the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950. As the title indicates, these were years of beginnings that ushered in the present-day era of service unification and saw the development of policies and programs that would have lasting impact on national security. Problems abroad threatened to embroil the United States in conflicts for which it was largely unprepared. Students of foreign affairs will be especially interested in the chapters on assistance to Greece and Turkey under the Truman Doctrine, the partitioning of Palestine and the ensuing Arab-Israeli conflict, the civil war in China and its repercussions throughout the Far East, including the early stages of U.S. involvement in Vietnam, and the Berlin crisis of 1948-49, which nearly led to a military showdown with the Soviet Union. Subsequent chapters examine the development of the atomic energy program and growing U.S. reliance on nuclear weapons, the creation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the origins of the worldwide Mutual Defense Assistance Program, and the drafting of NSC 68, the landmark policy paper that in 1950, on the eve of the Korean War, proposed an unprecedented program of peacetime rearmament.
