Episode 346: A LEGACY OF CHAINS

Philip Kraskeā€™s grippingly readable new novellaĀ A Legacy of ChainsĀ fleshes out an interesting and not-entirely-implausible scenario: A few surviving American POWs left behind in Vietnam, now senior citizens, manage to escapeā€¦but find an American government and media determined to suppress their story, and the ā€œEnormous Crimeā€ it reveals.
Something not unlike the events in the story actually happened whenĀ Robert Garwood, one of the more than 600 US prisoners of war held hostage by the Vietnamese after the cessation of hostilities, managed to escape in 1979 to tell the taleā€¦only to be betrayed by his own government and slandered by the media.
