The Pentagon released on Friday a 700-page history of American
military captivity during the Vietnam War. The release of "Honor
Bound" marks the 25th anniversary of Operation Homecoming, the large-
scale return of US prisoners-of-war after the Vietnam War.
The book "combines scholarly analysis with narrative to record in
detail the experience of American prisoners in the North and South
Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia," the Pentagon announced.
Topics the book addresses range from the "physical ordeal of torture
and deprivation to the psychological challenges of indoctrination,
exploitation for propaganda purposes and mere coping and passing time
under the most adverse circumstances."
The volume costs $46 and can be ordered from the Superintendent of
Documents, PO Box 371954, Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7954.
The book's
