| Abstract | " In 1952, during the Korean War, Colonel Frank H. Schwable was held prisoner of war by Communists. After months of physical and psychological torture, he signed a confession asserting the U.S. had used germ warfare on Korean civilians. After his release, an official inquiry into his false confession uncovered the effect psychological torture had on his actions"--Provided by publisher. |
