More Details
- Summary:
- "In January 1954, months after the end of the Korean War, U.S. soldiers held in POW camps were at last free to return home. A small group, however, refused repatriation to the U.S. and, after being given 90 days to reconsider their decision, 21 American soldiers decided to stay in China ... The majority of the 21 Americans became disillusioned and returned to America, where they recanted their statements and were imprisoned by the military. Others remained in China, got educations, worked in a variety of jobs, married and raised families. In interviews today, several of the surviving men--including those who remained in China and those who returned to the U.S--along with members of their families recount their unusual experiences, explain their thinking at the time, and the nature of their beliefs today"--Container.
