Description
This book rips the lid off one of the most disturbing scandals in modern US history. The story of American heroes kept by our country's enemies
and Washington's failure to recover them reads like a cross between a spy
thriller and political expose. It uncovers decades of secrets and incompetence,
right up to the Obama Administration, and reveals how Moscow, Beijing, and
Pyongyang continue to thwart America today.
Based on years of research
around the world by an investigative historian and former Special Forces officer
teamed with the POW/MIA expert son of a missing Korean War flyer, it is by turns
both enthralling and upsetting.
Filled with previously secret US intelligence reports and photos.

Advance Praise
A "fascinating, disturbing and important book...America has to read it:"
Sydney Schanberg, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and inspiration for the
Academy Award-winning film "The Killing Fields."
Wall Street
Journal: "Independent researcher Mark Sauter and John Zimmerlee, the son of
a missing-in-action U.S. Air Force serviceman, argue in a new e-book, that U.S.
incompetence, combined with a desire to downplay the issue amid
on-again-off-again negotiations with North Korea, have trumped the military's
'no man left behind' imperative. The two men also say that there is some
evidence that American soldiers may still be alive in North Korea
today..."
Associated Press: "Mark Sauter, a private researcher
and co-author with John Zimmerlee of 'American Trophies and Washington's Cynical
Attitude,' an e-book about POWs to be published this month, found in government
archives a U.S. intelligence report from August 1955, two years after the war,
calling for a bigger intelligence effort to learn about such POW transfers."
Drudge Report: "Book: USA left POWs behind in NKorea, China,
Russia..."
The Washington Free Beacon: "The book, American
Trophies: How American POWs Were Surrendered to North Korea, China, and Russia
by Washington's 'Cynical Attitude,' includes numerous cases of
missing Americans from the Korean War, along with several from the Cold War and
Vietnam War. It is based on years of research, interviews, and documents by the
authors, Sauter and John Zimmerlee. Declassified intelligence reports obtained
by the authors reveal that Americans were being held captive in China, North
Korea, and the Soviet Union at least through the 1990s."
