An excellent comparison of treatment received by soldiers of all sides during the Korean War. Although dated, it illustrates how difficult it was to follow the rules of the Geneva Convention when only one side recognizes the convention. Although hopelessly opinionated, the differences between Chinese communists, Chinese Nationals,Chinese who just want to go home to farm, Communist Koreans, Non-Communists Koreans, Koreans who had no clue and go where the food was best versus the U.N. backed troops and neutrals who tried to please everyone. I had not realized the complexity of holding prisoners under such conditions. Definitely worth reading now in order to try and understand the different Islamic faiths with their different desires and how people react. ( )
