"Long Binh Jail was a place so feared that American soldiers would rather face the Viet Cong than be sent there." "Known as "LBJ" or simply "The Stockade," it was officially the U.S. Army Installation Stockade in Long Binh, South Vietnam. Within its confines were Americans whose offenses ran the gamut from drug possession, insubordination, and AWOL, to assault, rape, and murder. Containing up to a thousand prisoners at a time, Long Binh jail was, in effect, the Army's own little penal colony and one sharply divided by racial tensions." "In 1968, these tensions erupted when most of its African-American prisoners took over the prison compound. The riot, which had to be put down by armed American troops using tear gas, was noted around the world as another sign of the sagging morale of U.S. forces. Noted military historian Cecil Barr Currey tells the story of Long Binh jail through the words of dozens of former guards, prisoners, and administrators. They reveal a disturbing aspect of the Vietnam War that has not been examined until now."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Excerpt from Prisoners of War and Military Prisons: Personal Narratives of Experience in the Prisons at Richmond, Danville, Macon, Andersonville, Savannah, Millen, Charleston, and Columbia During the past ten years, many narratives have been published, detailing the sufferings of Federal prisoners in the late War of the Rebellion. They have, for the most part, been confined to accounts of the personal experience of the writers in the several prisons in which they were confined, and many of them exhibit vivid pictures of the horrible condition to which they were reduced by the policy of their captors.

Man power has been at a premium in nearly every major war in which the United States has participated. In the event of a future conflict against a foe who may be numerically superior, every available source of manpower may have to be used. This will include captured enemy personnel. The successful prosecution of the war may depend upon the utilization of these prisoners of war.Up to this time no record of the use of prisoners of war in past wars of the United States has been available. This study prepared for the Office of the Chief of Military History of the United States Army will fill the void and provide detailed information on the Army's use of prisoners of war in the past.The study is divided into three parts. Part One, " The Early Wars," contains three chapters covering the period from the Revolutionary War through the Civil War. Part Two, " The Beginnings of Global Warfare," contains three chapters covering the period from the Spanish-American War to the beginning of World War II. Part Three, " World War II," contains the bulk of the study. The planning, policies, interested agencies, and actual employment both in the continental United States and in overseas theaters are presented in detail.
