When Green Beret Lieutenant James N. Rowe was captured in 1963
in Vietnam, his life became more than a matter of staying
alive.
In a Vietcong POW camp, Rowe endured beri-beri, dysentery, and
tropical fungus diseases. He suffered grueling psychological and
physical torment. He experienced the loneliness and frustration of
watching his friends die. And he struggled every day to maintain
faith in himself as a soldier and in his country as it appeared to
be turning against him.
His survival is testimony to the disciplined human spirit.
His story is gripping.
