Conversations with the enemy : the story of P.F.C. Robert Garwood

An account of the experiences of Marine PFC Robert Garwood as a prisoner of war in Vietnam explores the controversy over a man accused of collaboration with the Viet Cong. Robert Russell Garwood was a 19 year-old Marine private with 12 days left on his tour of duty in Vietnam when he was wounded and captured by the Viet Cong. Fourteen years later he returned to the United States, shoeless and chattering in Vietnamese, to face a celebrated court-martial for desertion. By Winston Groom And Duncan Spencer.
