Fantastic Chronicle of Betrayal
Rating  (5)
Date: 2008-02-29
Monika Jensen-Stevenson went all out to uncover the tragedy of the POW MIA betrayal by evil people inside our government and its many bureaucracies. Of course, those who have been exposed in this book for what they are, self-serving liars and deceivers, and their accomplices, will denigrate and talk bad about this book, but that does not change the fact that the author and her husband put whatever truth they could uncover out there for the rest of us to know. We all owe them a debt of gratitude for the risk they took in completing this project. They are unsung heroes of Liberty.

Mr and Mrs Stevenson have been on hundreds
of radio and TV shows and this very solidly
refferenced book should be on the same shelf
in your library as Col. James Bo Gritz books,
on the same subject [Ex: 'A Nation Betrayed'].
Bravo, Mr and Mrs Stevenson!

An amazing and sad tale

I read this book quite a few years ago and was horrified by the thought that American soldiers were left to die in Vietnam. Whenever I discussed the findings in the book with friends they would shrug it off and say that it couldn't be true. They felt that the truth would have had to come out over the years and that even politicians are not that low. Many other reviews on this site also portray the book as false.
I was therefore amazed when I recently read the book Inside the Delta Force by Eric Haney. In that amazing book he discusses that the U.S. government had confirmation of U.S. POW's being held in Laos and that the Delta Force was prepared to go in after them. Two times the mission was scrubbed, and they never again had the opportunity to try again. His views on what occurred and the C.I.A.'s participation in the events are amazing. These facts are hard to dismiss lightly coming from a founding member of the Delta Force.
I now want to go back and read Kiss the Boy's Goodbye again. It is an amazing tale that needs to be told and people need to be held accountable.
