Book excerpt: Pvt. Robert Garwood was a jeep driver for a Marine Intelligence unit when he was taken captive by the Vietcong in 1965. Col. Tom McKenny was assigned to seek out and terminate American traitors--including a missing private named Garwood. In this incredible real-life account, Jensen-Stevenson exposes one of the cruelest cover-ups of the war, and pleads an eloquent case for the innocence of Bobby Garwood, who was finally returned to his country--more than six years after the last American POW had been allegedly released--not to face a hero's welcome, but unfounded accusations of treachery, a court-martial and disgrace.W.
