Vietnam Conflict: American Prisoners Of War. This fifteen-page senior level paper discusses the torture and hardships, which American POWs were subjected to during imprisonment in Vietnam. During the 11-year long conflict, tens of hundreds of soldiers were taken prisoners by the Vietnamese armed forces and they were treated in the worse possible manner. It was in 1973 that Vietnam declared that it had no Americans in its prisons and this brought an end to the issue of POWs/MIAs. While many maintain that some American soldiers were never released, the government in 1973 officially ended the search for the missing soldiers as 591 soldiers came back home after may years of confinement in Vietnamese torture cells. 15 pgs.
