... Kiss The Boys Goodbye: How the United States betrayed its...Prisoners of war - United States... - Prisoners and prisons Prisoners of war - United States Bobby Garwood ...The story began in 1985, when award-winning journalist Monika Jenson-Stenevson came to investigate the case of Bobby Garwood, an ex-marine who escaped from Vietnam in 1979 and claimed to have seen countless Americans still in captivity there. Garwood claimed he had been a prisoner of war, but the American government disagreed - and promptly convicted him of collaboration with the enemy. Kiss the Boys Goodbye reveals a devasting scandal and provides startling evidence that the American government, right up to its highest echelons, knows - and has always known - that American POWs were left behind at the end of the war.The story began in 1985, when award-winning journalist Monika Jenson-Stenevson came to investigate the case of Bobby Garwood, an ex-marine who escaped from Vietnam in 1979 and claimed to have seen countless Americans still in captivity there.
