VIETNAM WAR POWs AND MIAs

Our book, "Foreign Correspondent," published September 2015, reported there were 1,627 still missing-in-action as of 1 May 2015 from the Vietnam War, according to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), the lead agency on POWs and MIAs within the U.S. Department of Defense. Some have been accounted for since then and as of 23 March 2016 the DPAA reports there are 1,621 now listed as MIA from the Vietnam War. As we say in our book, the number classified as Vietnam War MIA is remarkable given the U.S. sent 3.4 million Americans to Southeast Asia during this war.

Synopsis: When the U.S. sends its young men and women overseas to war, those Americans must know if they are captured, if they are lost, if they falter, if they fall behind, America will come back to get them. The United States of America does not leave its troops behind. This is a story of a CBS News reporter, Steve Patten, striving to maintain that pledge. It covers over 40 years and takes place from when he was a U.S. Marine serving in South Vietnam to the wars he reported on in the Middle East, the Far East, and Central America, including the current war on terror. And it takes place in wars of a different kind as he becomes a target himself. Unjustly accused by CBS News management of being an undercover agent for the Central Intelligence Agency, Patten fights on in his search for POWs and MIAs. Working also to clear his name, he demands CBS disclose its secret sources for its CIA allegation when CBS management told him, "The word on the streets of Beirut is you're dirty." His confrontation with CBS reaches all the way to the president of CBS Inc. and the CBS corporate board. This book is intended to inform you, the reader, of efforts to bring lost Americans home and of the career of a journalist involved in those efforts. Most of all, this book is intended to keep faith with our heroes and our heroines.
