The full story of the extraordinary top-secret mission to rescue 61 American POWs in a prison compound 23 miles from Hanoi in Vietnam. Signed presentation from Schemmer, to a General involved in plotting the mission, on the front endpaper: "August 1976. For Major General Dick Stewart- With warm respect for one helluva job working to get these guys home safely, with deep thanks for helping me tell the story, and with high respect, personally and professionally, Ben Schemmer."
