Description
Surviving Hell: A POW's Journey by Leo Thorsness recounts a six-year captivity marked by brutal torture and days of agonizing boredom. In solitary confinement, Thorsness disciplined his mind by memorizing long passages of poetry sent to him by fellow prisoners. The story is filled with hope and humor as the American POWs strove to maintain their dignity in the face of unimaginable hardship. With resilience and resourcefulness, they waged war by other means in the darkest days of captivity. This book offers a unique insight into the strategies used by these remarkable men to survive against all odds, making it an eloquent tale of resistance and survival.
