Synopsis

THE BELL TOLLS, NO ECHO: Soldiers Who Can’t Go Home reveals an impossible situation that 100,000 prisoners of war had faced following the Korean War. Thomas Chung, a veteran of the Korean War, recounts the saga behind the Korean War, lost POWs and his journey to rescue those who are still alive. These South Korean POWs had been captured by the enemy forces during the war most often referred to as “the forgotten war.” Truly forgotten were these prisoners who had been taken to North Korea and put to hard labor. After the war, North Korea was supposed to release the prisoners of war as part of the truce negotiations, but it kept them as slave labor rather than returning the POWs to South Korea. Lieutenant Cho Chang-ho was one of them. He had worked in coal mines under the worst of the conditions and made a daring escape from North Korea after 45 years. Up to that point, nobody had heard of POWs still remaining in North Korea. He had been listed as killed-in-action all those years. Lieutenant Cho’s return from death was a shocker for his family and the rest of the South Korean society. More POWs, now in their 80’s and 90’s, have trickled to freedom and told their stories of horror. About five hundred or so POWs still remain alive in North Korea today. This book is about Thomas Chung’s journey to rescue the old heroes.
