About This Item
Mechanicsburg, PA: Executive Books, 1991 Executive Books, Mechanicsburg, PA. 1991. Softcover/Trade Wraps. 22nd printing. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Fine. No DJ. Pictorial Wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split. 287 pp. The author was a flight officer on the USS Kitty Hawk and shot down during his 75th combat mission over North Vietnam and imprisoned for 6 years in 8 different POW camps. This is a POW story in an isolated world of degradation, loneliness, tedium, hunger, and pain. The book talks of torture techniques to make a man talk but it also tells of creativity which allowed men to outsmart their guards. The book talks of men reduced to the basics and relationships with God as a result of desperate need. A story of hope that every POW faces. A clean pristine copy.
