Billions of tax dollars per month that could be spent on schools, education, a new transportation fuel infrastructure are spent on war. No-bid contracts are the norm, rather than the exception. Our soldiers, trained in specific support and maintenance roles, have been ordered to teach civilian subcontractors how to do their job.Blackwater has become a 250,000 person mercenary corps, accountable to the company CEO instead of the military chain of command and President. A police station in Baghdad was so poorly constructed for $200 million that it has to be torn down and rebuilt. Blackwater and other security contractors in Iraq were equipped with MRAPs long before the US Armed Forces were. Similar stories abound.McCain thinks well stay in Iraq for another hundred years. That would be good news for the companies being paid billions of tax dollars to do what they do with no oversight or accountability. In an attempt to discredit any proposal that the US adopt a Canadian or French system of government-subsidized health care, the GOP is quick to assert it would be socialized health care. Yet, hypocritically, they fully support the continued feeding of the Military Industrial Complex at the taxpayer-filled money trough: Socialism for the war profiteering segment of the population.

More than five years ago, the President stood under a banner claiming "mission accomplished" and stated major combat operations were over. Since then, more than 3500 U.S. soldiers and countless Iraqis have died, tens of thousands more wounded. Hundreds of billions of dollars have been appropriated outside the "federal budget" process in "emergency supplemental appropriations" bills.Congress has done NOTHING to hold the Administration accountable for its lawlessness. Oversight hearings replete with stunning revelations about subverting the Constitution, domestic spying, about treasonous covert identity revelations and war profiteering have resulted at Sternly Worded Letters from the Judiciary Committee chairmen to officials.A small group of Congressmen have tried to begin holding these people accountable, only to be blocked at every turn. Congressman Kucinich has introduced Articles of Impeachment against V.P. Cheney, only to have them whither in the Judiciary despite Congressman Wexler's best efforts to bring them to the floor of the House.Four additional co-sponsors have signed on to the 35 Articles of Impeachment against the President! Still, nothing is being done. The Iraq War has become a Republican prop in McCain's campaign. War that destroys thousands of lives, thousands of families, thousands of communities continues unchecked. War steals fathers and mothers from toddlers and infants, destroying their sense of safety... for what cause.It is now common knowledge the President lied us into war. And there is no accountability. Nor is there peace. Truly this is madness. And it is time to stop it. Now.

(Must read Glory Denied)

(An incredible read)

(GLORY DENIED)

(The Families Suffer Too)

(Vietnam War Buffs - Pick This One Up!!)
Tom Philpott is an outstanding author. His format and organization provide a perfect setting for the telling of the powerful, tragic story of Jim Thompson. This book is a must read.
The story of Col Thompson is truly remarkable. The thing that grabbed me the most was his constant struggle to regain the life he knew before he was captured. It made me think what would life be like if I spent 9 years away from everything I currently know. Think about it take the last 9 years out of your life and everything that was created, or music changes, clothing changes. Truly and incredible read. If you want to read a great book pick this one up.
Of all the books I have read in my lifetime, none has moved me more then the story of Captain Floyd James Thompson!! He is without doubt one of America's greatest and most loyal and dedicated American's I have ever read about. As a Viet Nam Veteran I would venture to say that even the most Hardend Combat Veteran would be humbled by the story of Capt Floyd James Thompson!! An incredible story of an individual's will to not only survive in the most inhumane conditions but to maintaine the constant will to stay loyal and committed to his Flag and Country! After reading this book you will find that every day problems no matter how grave they may seem will seem miniescule!
"Glory Denied" is a befitting title for the story of Captain Floyd James Thompson and his Family as he and they deserved so much more from our Country then was given! He will be surely missed, but never forgotten!

C L Chamberlin



"Glory Denied" is the tale of Green Beret Captain Jim Thompson. It is unique in that GD does not unfold in linear, year by year fashion. GD is reconstructed entirely by interviews with Thompson and his friends / families. Captain Thompson became a POW in March of 1964 when his observation plane was downed near Khe Sanh in the remote northwest corner of South Vietnam. As GD's cover aptly notes, Captain Thompson was a prisoner of the Viet Cong while many Americans had barely heard of either the VC or the country itself. Thompson suffered mightily in the squalid and remote jungle camps before his 1968 transfer to the better known prisons that surrounded Hanoi. There, in places like the Rockpile, Thompson lingered until the general prisoner release in the Spring of 1973. He and Navy Lt. (j.g.) Everett Alvarez were the longest detained POWs. There is an aura of competition between the 2 throughout GD. The poignant story of prison life is sharply detailed in GD, but many other books have done likewise. The "in country" tale is the lesser portion of GD. What sets Thompson's story apart is the recounting of his life after his repatriation. He came home to an America VASTLY different than the buttoned up, pre Beatles nation he had left in 1963. (This reviewer thought things had changed after only one year in country!). We should all dwell on how much happened in those crazy years and imagine the reaction of a conservative guy who wanted only to return to the hearth and home he knew. His wife had, to put it mildly, been "stepping out" during his absence. The marriage might never have been ideal but any POW must have remembered and fanaticized about only the good parts of his relationship. The remainder of GD deals with Thompson's repeated attempts to achieve normalcy in his personal life while he rebuilds his Army career. The former is an abject failure, though it certainly qualifies as interesting, if tragic reading. As to the latter, this reviewer was impressed how the Army stood by Thompson, promoting him all the way to Lt. Colonel and helping him with his alcohol abuse. Granted, he was a special case but the DA cut him a lot of slack. It was painfully obvious the Army didn't know what to do with the guy. One wonders how many returned prisoners actually reconstructed their careers -and how many were dumped by the wayside. More poignantly, one wonders how many POW families got back together. How many wives remained faithful? How many guys remarried? How many families fell apart? I hope I was mistaken when I read of the behind closed doors "beatings at family reception centers". Rating GD is a hard call. It is not a straight POW tale in the "Why Didn't You Get Me Out" or "When Hell Was In Session" tradition. The second part of GD would qualify as soap opera if not so depressing. The resolution is purposely not revealed here. Out of respect for Colonel Thompson (his retirement rank), all the other POWs and their collective suffering and service to their country, GD is given 4 stars. Credit author Philpott with a unique story compilation- one that was 16 years (!) in the making. How he got the Thompson family to cooperate, only he and the Man Upstairs can guess. A final and sobering thought: GD makes it painfully evident that it wasn't only the POWs' in country suffering that is significant: Many troubles began in earnest after repatriation and the travails of spouses and children may take a lifetime to heal. Those of us that came back to the world intact and unscarred should count our blessings daily.

What can be said of the Vietnam War that hasn't been said. From McCain to Kerry, this war needs to be constantly studied and read. We must not forget the mistakes and lessons learned. We must learn from different perspectives and viewpoints. Vietnam must be studied so that we know what to avoid with future conflicts we're forced into. Especially, in this time of terrorist and other anti-American deviance.

So pick up this title and read carefully. Then take a look at what your own viewpoints are.

Army officer Jim Thompson's horrific experience in a series of North Vietnamese prisons was nasty and brutish--but definitely not short. He was held as a prisoner of war for nearly nine years, longer than any other American POW. His treatment was torturous: "I was put into a horizontal cage maybe two feet wide, two feet high, and five feet long. There I was kept for four months, chained hand and feet." And sometimes he was just plain tortured: "I sat there with a pen in hand as they shouted at me to write," he recalls of a time his captors tried to make him issue a statement condemning the American war effort. "Periodically they hit me with bamboo. Not hard enough to knock me unconscious or to break the skin. Just enough to hurt. They kept at it for eight, ten, twelve hours a day." (He eventually gave in, and signed a statement.)

The irony is that Thompson's life improved little upon his return to the United States. His wife had taken up with another man, his family fell apart, he drank to excess, and his son was convicted of murder. Readers will be at once tempted and reluctant to call Thompson a hero--tempted because of how much he suffered for serving his country and for his numerous escape attempts, but reluctant because Thompson was himself responsible for much of the pain he brought on himself and his family following his return.

Military journalist Tom Philpott has produced an oddly fascinating book about Thompson's ordeal.Glory Deniedis not a piece of narrative nonfiction, but an oral history. It tells Thompson's story through the words of Thompson and those who knew him. Readers who want a more uplifting POW story may want to tryFaith of Our Fathersby Senator John McCain (who contributes a foreword toGlory Denied), yet Philpott's book may come closer to capturing the agony so many Americans continue to associate with Vietnam.--John J. Miller
One of the most powerful books to emerge about Vietnam—the unforgettable story of America's longest-held prisoner-of-war, his family, and a country at war with itself.

He had dreamed of being a military man as a youngster during World War II. Marrying shortly after high school, he was drafted by the Army in 1956 and sent to a faraway land called Vietnam in 1963 at a time when America still seemed innocent. In fact, Floyd "Jim" Thompson might have led a perfectly ordinary life had he not been captured on March 26, 1964, just three months after arriving in Vietnam, becoming one of the first Americans taken prisoner, and ultimately, the longest-held prisoner-of-war in American history.

Now, for the first time, Thompson's epic story, and that of his family who also paid dearly for his sacrifice, is brought to life inGlory Denied, a searing reconstruction of one man's tortuous journey through war and its aftermath. Weaving together scores of interviews with Thompson and his family, comments from friends, fellow soldiers, former prisoners-of-war, and excerpts from service records, medical reports, and intelligence briefings, Philpott delivers an exceptionally nuanced and moving portrait of a man, a family, and a nation.

The first half of the saga follows Thompson from his youth through his marriage and early days in the Army, to his harrowing survival in Vietnam—nine years in jungle cages and dank prison cells, surviving torture, disease, and starvation. We see how, by happenstance, a painful childhood honed a soldier's survival skills amid unspeakable horrors. And most vividly we see Thompson's family struggling with the consequences of his absence. Indeed, particularly arresting is Philpott's ability to juxtapose Thompson's capture, torture, and multiple escape attempts with the trials of his young wife Alyce, pregnant with their fourth child and devastated when her husband was declared missing in action. The once dependent wife, unaware of her husband's survival and feeling trapped, would make choices that forever would tie her own fate to the war she despised. And the Army's compliance with those decisions turned the spotlight off Thompson and allowed another prisoner of war to be remembered in his place.

The final half ofGlory Deniedchronicles the journey of the Thompsons in the decades following America's longest war. While wounds from the war, both physical and social, healed for most Americans, the nightmare of Vietnam only shifted into another stage for the family. What became so apparent was that Alyce had changed. The children had changed. The nation's values had changed. But Thompson's values—and dreams—had not. He had missed an unprecedented social revolution—a revolution that now mocked his sacrifice—and he had missed nine critical years of an Army career.

The final chapters ofGlory Deniedread like a classic tragedy, filled with stories of reconciliation, abandonment, and addiction. It is a tale as absorbing as any Arthur Miller play, a relentlessly heartrending story that tells us as much about our nation's history as it does about a family named Thompson. Glory Denied, which combines the historical detail of Neil Sheehan'sA Bright Shining Liewith the pathos of a James Jones novel, is a masterly work of oral history, a project that has consumed its author for more than a decade. Neither the book nor its subject, Jim Thompson, will soon be forgotten.
