| Well the book is available - as posted in #1. What seems to be intriguing from what I've read so far is that the US Senate, and the Russians, has been taking this seriously for quite a long time, but the Brits still deny any knowledge.
And there is evidence that POWs remained. The author interviewed a French POW who was forced to stay after he was released from a gulag. He managed to get to the French embassy in the early 1980s but they didn't believe him. It wasn't until the early 90s that he finally managed to visit France again.
And the fact that most of the POWs, be they French, US or British (including Commonwealth) were listed as Missing meant that most families didn't chase this up. It was only after the Vietnam war ended and those families in the US started chasing up MIAs that information about possible cover ups from the Korean war and WW2 started appearing.
