Nigel Cawthorne (born 27 March 1951 in Wolverhampton) is a British freelance writer of fiction and non-fiction, and an editor. According to Cawthorne's website, he has written more than 150 books on a wide range of subjects. He also contributed to The Guardian, the Daily Mirror, the Daily Mail, and the New-York Tribune. He has appeared on television and BBC Radio 4's Today programme. He has also published under the pen names of Gordon Bowers, Al Cimino, Alexander Macdonald, Karl and Opal Streisand (and those works were truly 'gems'). This is claimed to be the first published investigation into whether US prisoners of war were left behind in Southeast Asia after the Vietnam war. American involvement in the war in Vietnam ended many years ago, but a large number of Americans still believe that American servicemen are still being held prisoner in Vietnam and Laos. After the Vietnam War ground to a bloody halt, long after the boys were officially sent home, evidence remained that over 2,000 American soldiers were still missing in Southeast Asia. In this shocking expose, journalist Nigel Cawthorne examines the evidence -- from CIA documents and Pentagon files to the streets of Hanoi.
