Astounding!  What an incredible and awe inspiring book!  Captain Gerald Coffee went through such a dark time as a POW in Vietnam but rather than succumb to the perils of his situation, he finds strength and meaning amid the chaos. The details in this book are so amazing, I could not put it down. Being an Air Force veteran, I found myself back in the cockpit reliving the story with Captain Coffee as he uses literary detail so you understand what is going on scene by scene. It was certainly horrific the conditions the POWs experienced at the hands of the enemy, however the mantra here is that perseverance and never losing hope is more powerful than anything the enemy could throw at them. I was so engrossed in this book I will probably read it a second time. I strongly recommend this book for anyone that loves military history and stories of hope,strength, and courage!
