Barbara Birchim’s husband, Capt. James Birchim, was listed as Missing In Action in the Vietnam War in 1968. It didn’t take long for her to realize that the government wasn’t giving her the truth about what really happened that day in 1968. Barbara realized that it was going to be her responsibility to uncover the truth. Barbara was surprised to find out that the public didn’t know how this MIA issue was ongoing, even today, and that it’s the family that has to pursue the answers.

This is Barbara’s second book in her search for answers and the lengths she had to go through to get them. She didn’t even find out until 1998 that her husband was in Special Operations which answered some of her questions as to why she was having so much difficulty getting documents and answers from government officials. Barbara’s two books give the reader a good look at what it’s like to be put in this situation with a family member missing in action. The government says they leave no man behind. That’s a lie.

Because Barbara had so many documents and because she lives in a fire zone, she decided she needed to get the information into book form in case she lost her house in a fire. Barbara’s  first book, Is Anybody Listening, is a non-fiction account of all the agencies involved with covering up this issue of MIA/POWs. This book starts with WWII to 2005 and her journey in searching for answers through it. From 2005 to 2021, Barbara had accumulated many more facts about her husband’s case and felt compelled to write her second book,  Searching For The Truth. This book had to be a fiction based book because she couldn’t reveal her sources.
