An Enormous Crime: The Definitive Account of American POWs Abandoned in Southeast Asia

The New York Times–bestselling exposé of American POWs abandoned by their government during the withdrawal from Vietnam.

An Enormous Crime is nothing less than shocking. Drawing on thousands of pages of public and previously classified documents, satellite imagery, and original interviews, the authors present an utterly convincing case that when the American government withdrew its forces from Vietnam, it knowingly abandoned hundreds of POWs to their fate.

The product of twenty-five years of research by former Congressman Bill Hendon and attorney Elizabeth A. Stewart, this book shines a scathing light on a shameful chapter in American history. It reveals the reasons American soldiers and airmen were held back by the North Vietnamese at Operation Homecoming in 1973, what these brave men have endured, and how administration after administration of their own government has turned its back on them. An Enormous Crime is a singular work, telling a story unlike any other in our history: ugly, harrowing, and true.
