description: Chronicles the events surrounding &amp; including 3 separate military-type operations aimed at investigating &amp; freeing the remaining POWs in Laos. All were led by the same man  Lt. Col. James Bo Gritz. The first 2 operations were half -heartedly supported &amp; funded by the U.S. government. Gritzs dedicated refusal to give up led to a third, independent operation, which he organized &amp; headed on his own: Operation Lazarus. Their unforgettable trek is portrayed with vivid descriptions of the horrors they endured: guerrilla attacks, casualties, jungle warfare, deception &amp; dissension, &amp; ultimately, failure.
