Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am reading this book at the present time. Dee Barker Gowin bought our house in suburban Atlanta just after her husband's death. I had been unaware of the activities to recover Major Barker. Her strength and courage were evident back then and it is reassuring to know that after all these years her family got answers. From that stand point, it has to be worthwhile to look for remains. Several friends died in Vietnam and I remember them well. My best to Dee and her family.

In this gripping true-grit adventure story, award-winning journalist Earl Swift accompanies an elite scientific team on a search for a military pilot lost thirty years ago in Southeast Asia. The recovery mission is part of an effort by the military's Central Identification Laboratory--Hawaii (CILHI), the largest forensic lab in the world, whose methods combine the latest in forensic technology with old-fashioned bushwhacking, archaeology, and detective work. The quest to find Major Jack Barker and his three-man helicopter crew brings the team to deeply impoverished Laos, where they comb the jungle floor for clues to the decades-old crash amid vipers, monsoons, and unexploded bombs. Expertly recounted, Where They Lay is a suspenseful, often harrowing tale of mud, sweat and science.
