It's been thirty-eight years since the first of the Viet Nam P.O.W.s started returning home. Today's generation knows little if anything at all of what happened to our servicemen and the extreme conditions that they endured. Today, too many people think that having a prisoner photographed in his underwear is torture. They have no idea what torture really is. Guantanamo detainees had three meals a day and the finest medical care available.

I think anyone reading this account of the brutal treatment that these American servicemen received might just have their eyes opened for the first time. This really happened. If you know nothing about it, you must learn of their sacrifices. Read this account of one man's 2,522 days in hell.

Sobering Read. I sought this book after having met a brother of one of the Alcatraz 11. It was a book I couldn't put down. THANK YOU for all the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in pursuit of continued freedom in this country.

I had the pleasure of being presented this book from the Author himself, during one of his stays in Italy. The reader is really taken by the history of a Soldier(a Captain of US Navy) who, throughout the dreadful experience of the captivity in Vietnam is supported only by a deep, very hard to find, sense of Duty. A great lesson for all the generations to come and a great tribute to all people "who paid the price of Vietnam"(from Preface) - Vincenzo DE ROS
