Book Description
This book, the second of a two-volume series entitled POW/MIA Accounting, summarizes the final four of the author’s seven-year association with the U.S. government’s program to account for military service members who went missing during America’s historic conflicts. Based on hundreds of primary source documents including email and records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, this volume is an unprecedented description of the extent of political interference in the science of human skeletal identification. The narrative in Volume 2 derives from the author’s four-year experience as a member of the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command’s (JPAC) Central Identification Laboratory located at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam on Oahu, Hawaii.

Book Description
This book is an insider’s account of the search for missing American servicemen who became trapped in the Soviet Union and the US government’s efforts to free them or discover their fates. The book, which is based on years of work as a consultant to the US government, includes archive research that took place in Russia and four other republics of the Soviet Union as the USSR broke apart. Volume I explores the history of missing American servicemen, with particular emphasis on thousands who were not accounted for during the Korean War and Cold War era. As US relations with Russia and North Korea become more intense, this book is an extremely timely resource for scholars, laymen, and policymakers.

Book Description
The Dept. of Defense (DOD) reports that more than 83,000 persons are missing from past conflicts in Vietnam, Korea, the Cold War, the Persian Gulf, and World War II. Several DOD organizations, known as the accounting community, have a role in accounting for the missing. Between 2002 and 2012, DOD accounted for an average of 72 persons each year. In 2009, Congress mandated DOD to increase its capability and capacity such that the community could account for at least 200 missing persons annually by 2015. This report reviewed DOD's efforts to address the accounting-for goal and assessed DOD's capability and capacity to accomplish the missing persons accounting mission. It found that the mission is being undermined by longstanding leadership weaknesses and a fragmented organizational structure. Includes recommendations. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.

Book Description
Excerpt from Accounting for Pow/Mia's From the Korean War and the Vietnam War: Hearing Before the Military Personnel Subcommittee of the Committee on National Security, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session; Hearing Held September 17, 1996 Obviously, there is much media attention to today's hearing. I've lost track of how many hearings we've had in the last year and 10 months. But there should be media attention to this because, in the Korean aspect of it, there was precious little media attention or fol low-through on the hundreds of Americans that I'm convinced we left behind at the end of America's first stalemated, no-win war. During the past 20 months of the 104th Congress, I have con ducted a series of Military Personnel Subcommittee hearings in order to provide effective congressional oversight of the process of seeking the fullest possible accounting of American combatants who remain missing in action. It has been my intention throughout all of this to work in partnership with the Defense Department and the State Department, to bring an honest closure for hundreds of families who have not broken faith with their missing loved ones, the heroes of their lives.
