Sobre este item
New York: Irvington Publishers, Inc, c1987. First Edition. Presumed First Printing. Hardcover. Very good/Good. 24 cm. xii, 355, [9] pages. Map. Illustrations. Bibliography. Appendix. Index. DJ has wear, soiling, edge tears and chips. Pencil erasure residue on title page. Rod Colvin is the publisher of Addicus Books, Inc., a nonfiction publishing house that he founded in 1994. He is a former board member of the Independent Book Publishers Association. Rod Colvin worked for WOW radio news from 1979-1989 in Omaha. Finding a new career as a writer, he founded Addicus Books in the early 1990s, locating it Omaha, Nebraska. A former journalist, Colvin is the author of four nonfiction books including First Heroes--The POWs Left Behind in Vietnam. The result of five years of research, "First Heroes" untangles an intricate web of information and ultimately concludes that the prisoners of war that were held captive in Southeast Asia were forgotten or ignored by their own country. Author Rod Colvin crisscrossed the country interviewing military and government officials, veterans, returned POWs, political figures, journalists, and members of the National League of Families and the National Forget-Me-Not Association and balances hard facts with the dramatic personal accounts of parents, wives, brothers, sisters, and children who have waged a difficult battle for the truth about their loved ones. This chronicle is as much a testament to the faith and unending hope of the family members as it is the story of the men themselves. "First Heroes" is destined to change the way readers think about war, freedom, and their country.
