Product Information

The Korean War POW remains the most maligned victim of all American wars. For nearly half a century, the media, general public, and even scholars have described hundreds of these prisoners as "brainwashed" victims who uncharacteristically caved in to their Communist captors or, even worse, as turncoats who betrayed their fellow soldiers. In either case, these boys apparently lacked the "right stuff" required of our brave sons.Here, at long last, is a chance to hear the true story of these courageous men in their own words - a story that, until now, has gone largely untold. Dr. Carlson debunks many of the popular myths of Korean War POWs in this devastating oral history that's as compelling and moving as it is informative. From the Tiger Death March to the paranoia here at home, Korean POWs suffered injustices on a scale few can comprehend. More than 40 percent of the 7,140 Americans taken prisoner died in captivity, and as haunting tales of the survivors unfold, it becomes clear that the goal of these men was simply to survive under the most terrible conditions.Each survivor's story is a unique and personal experience, from missionary teacher Larry Zeller's imprisonment in the death cells of P'yongyang and his first encounter with the infamous killer known as The Tiger, to Rubin Townsend's daring escape from a death march by jumping off a bridge in a blinding snowstorm. From capture to forced marches, isolation, permanent camps, and torture , Remembered Prisoners of a Forgotten War is one of the most fascinating and disturbing books on the Korean War in years - and a brutally honest account of the Korean POW experience, in the survivors' own words.

" Remembered Prisoners of a Forgotten War is an incredible book, and a gripping read. I can't recommend this highly enough because it tells us all that we've forgotten and often never knew about our fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and brothers who served in a war that was as chilling and challenging and life-changing as any war anywhere. These men deserve to be heard-- and we need to hear them as we navigate in these times of our own. Lewis Carlson has done a great deed in letting these men speak-- for the first time-- for themselves."--Doug Stanton, New York Times bestselling author of In Harm's Way "Lewis Carlson gives voice to the vital human story from a pivotal American war, through men who first suffered cruelties at the enemy's hands and then abuse from their own society. Remembered Prisoners of a Forgotten War is a harrowing story, powerfully told, a triumph for truth in the historical fog called Korea."--Charles J. Hanley, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and co-author of The Bridge at No Gun Ri "The most vivid and thorough account of the Korean War POW ever published. An astounding journey through America's worst and most important POW experience."--Lieutenant Colonel Elliott Gruner, U.S. Army, Associate Professor of English, USMA, and author of Prisoners of Culture: Representing the Vietnam POW, "Remembered Prisoners of a Forgotten Waris an incredible book, and a gripping read.
