Michael Scott Speicher Story.
Cmdr.
About the Author Amy Waters Yarsinske is the author of numerous nonfiction books, including Lost Virginia Beach and No One Left Behind: The Lt.
Author Amy Waters Yarsinske, a former naval intelligence officer and a veteran investigator and author, presents her fascinating case after years of research.
After Saddam Hussein captured him, Speicher spent the next eight years in a secret Baghdad prison and being moved around in secret to avoid an American task force looking for him, and before he was killed after the United States invaded Iraq in March 2003.
Speicher was left behind.
In that time he was repeatedly promised by an American intelligence asset that a deal for his repatriation would be worked out but it never was.
Protected by a Bedouin tribal group, he evaded Saddam\'s capture for nearly four years.
Asserting that years of information has been intentionally kept from an American public, the book reveals that, contrary to reports, Speicher survived after he ejected from his stricken F/A-18 Hornet on the first night of the Persian Gulf War.
