Description
Dieter Dengler's remarkable story of survival and escape is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience and courage. In February 1966, Dengler was shot down over Laos and captured by the enemy, but he refused to give up. With the help of fellow prisoners, he hatched a plan to escape and free others from their captors.
Based on in-depth personal interviews and military archival materials, Bruce Henderson brings to life the gripping account of Dengler's captivity and escape. This is a story of unending optimism, loyalty, and survival against overwhelming odds, and it is a tribute to the bravery and determination of those who served in the Vietnam War.
