The book, which is based on years of work as a consultant to the US government, includes archive research that took place in Russia and four other republics of the Soviet Union as the USSR broke apart. Volume I explores the history of missing American servicemen, with particular emphasis on thousands who were not accounted for during the Korean War and Cold War era. As US relations with Russia and North Korea become more intense, this book is an extremely timely resource for scholars, laymen, and policymakers. 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aPolitics and war 606 $aRussia$xHistory 606 $aEurope, Eastern$xHistory 606 $aSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aMilitary and Defence Studies 606 $aRussian, Soviet, and East European History 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aPolitics and war. 615 0$aRussia$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope, Eastern$xHistory. 615 0$aSoviet Union$xHistory. 615 14$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aMilitary and Defence Studies. 615 24$aRussian, Soviet, and East European History. 676 $a940.547247092 700 $aCole$b Paul M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0855585 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300478203321 996 $aPOW$91910197 997 $aUNINA
