One of the few books by a Vietnam War POW written very shortly after the war. A view into history that has not been colored by outside influences. It leaves you with little doubt about the truly patriotic nature of the men who were fighting in the war and how they felt about their captors and those that would defend the North Vietnamese. It is an inspirational life story that uses the author's POW experience to show the inner strength that people have if they can summon it. There are lessons here that go beyond the history.

I met Charlie at a sales conference in Minneapolis. He made a fantastic presentation to us. I wanted to learn more details of his capture & confinement, so I bought his book. I generally liked it, albeit the cronogolgy was confusing. He jumped from 1969 to 1971, then back to 1967, then back to 1970. it was difficult to follow his timeline. I did like the detail I was looking for. I felt the pain, anger, sadness, isolation, hunger, that existed for all the prisoners. I sent the book to my son who's currently a Marine serving in Japan. I will continue to recomend it to others I feel can appreciate the book in it's literal sense.

Loved the book. Read it in preparation for meeting the author, who is a quality individual. Discovered upon meeting him that this is a bootleg copy of his book. Very disappointed to have bought it from Amazon.

I enjoyed this book. It was an enjoyable read. I learned a great deal about Charlie Plumb which was reason for the purchase! The price was awesome for the deal. It was a well taken care of book and I feel very satisfied!
