Summary: Quite a book!!!
Comment: Beautifully written, touching, disturbing, encouraging, spiritually enlightening, and tremendously upsetting, this account of a true American Hero's 7 1/2 years of imprisonment in Vietnam will exhaust every human emotion that the reader possesses. I read this book from cover to cover without stopping to breathe. I was shocked by every page. I never allowed myself to believe that human beings could treat each other the way that Admiral Denton was treated by the North Vietnamese. I have the utmost of respect for him, considering the pain that he lived with, not only during his imprisonment, but during the writing of this book as well. A lessor man would make all effort to block these years from his memory, but Jeremiah Denton relived the horror everyday that he spent writing this book. He did this for me, you, and all Americans so that we might begin to fully understand, not only how he was treated and how his faith in God, his family, and his country got him through this ordeal, but the necessity of this badly misunderstood war as well. This is a "must-read" book for any American who hasn't taken the time to stop and thank a Veteran for our freedom. Without the courage and loyalty of men like Denton, our country would not be the wonderful place that it is. I thank God everyday for these men who risked their lives for people like me, whom they don't even know. What greater hero is there?

Summary: One of my favorites
Comment: This book was an eye opener. I respect every uniform I see now, and have the upmost pride that those that were POWs are one of my own and beam at their bravery. My favorite quote comes from this book. He states it at he end of the book after he has come home and went through hell on earth, EVEN then he still has pride in his country. It was like he justified his beatings, and starving, and psychological beatings in one statement, "A nation is only as strong as the collective strength of it's individuals." Blew me away! Great book, I'd advise anyone that has pride in being an American to read this book and appreciate he is one of ours. For that matter, I'd advise someone who doesn't have pride in the United States to read it and learn what that Freedom of Speech they use so often costs.

Summary: Amazing story from a true American Hero
Comment: Adm. Denton's account of his years as a POW in Viet Nam is the most compelling I have read. Once I started reading it, I was awe struck and could not stop until I was finished.
Adm. Denton served his country in many ways. In addition to his military service, he was a US Senator from Alabama.
