About this product

Product Information

The incident at the heart of this book reveals in microcosm what went wrong in Vietnam, from the highest policy-making levels down the chain of command to what actually transpired on the field. On March 10, 1968, seven U.S. servicemen disappeared from a top secret radar base in Laos, their loss never fully explained by the American government. Castle recounts a harrowing story--of government coverups, military miscalculations, and crucial policy errors.

Reviews
"An excellent work that will surely provoke discussion and debate. Many historians will welcome the research into this previously little known area of the Vietnam War. Others will appreciate the author's exposure of what he claims to be government cover-up. Finally, no one will be able to resist the compelling description of a widow who takes on the callous bureaucracy to discover the truth behind her husband's disappearance in Laos" -- The Journal of Military History, An invaluable book about one important incident in the secret war in Laos in 1968 that appears at a most opportune time., "An almost perfect example of investigative history not falling over into 'gotcha' journalism." -- Roland Green, A. L. A. Booklist, Castle's suspenseful writing style and dogged tenacity penetrate the decades-long US government efforts to hide this shameful event. This authoritative account is also a refreshing departure from the all-too-common practice of describing dubious adventures without documenting sources., An excellent work that will surely provoke discussion and debate. Many historians will welcome the research into this previously little known area of the Vietnam War. Others will appreciate the author's exposure of what he claims to be government cover-up. Finally, no one will be able to resist the compelling description of a widow who takes on the callous bureaucracy to discover the truth behind her husband's disappearance in Laos, Part of the fascination of Castle's book comes from the odyssey he and the families [of the missing men] took inside the ludicrous world of top-secret military information., "An invaluable book about one important incident in the secret war in Laos in 1968 that appears at a most opportune time." -- Anthony Day, Los Angeles Times, "Castle's suspenseful writing style and dogged tenacity penetrate the decades-long US government efforts to hide this shameful event. This authoritative account is also a refreshing departure from the all-too-common practice of describing dubious adventures without documenting sources." -- Colonel Michael E. Haas, Military Review, "A combination of history, analysis, investigative journalism, and personal crusade focusing on the fate of nine U.S. Air Force personnel missing in action in Laos." -- The VVA Veteran, "Part of the fascination of Castle's book comes from the odyssey he and the families [of the missing men] took inside the ludicrous world of top-secret military information." -- Steve Weinberg, The Seattle Times, A combination of history, analysis, investigative journalism, and personal crusade focusing on the fate of nine U.S. Air Force personnel missing in action in Laos.

Family Ties!
This book was done for the families and friends of those that were left behind from the Vietnam war. Tim Castle wrote this book and dedicated it to my father and my family. It gives you a sense of what a family would be going through if it ever happened to one of your family members from the wars of today. The information is true and it was done with a lot of thought and consideration of those it may effect.
