Jeremiah Denton, the senior American officer (CDR, USN) to serve as a Vietnam POW, tells the amazing story of the 7.5 years he survived as a POW in North Vietnam. In 1966, he appeared on a television interview from prison and blinked the word torture in Morse Code, confirming for the world that atrocities were taking place in the Hanoi Hilton. And while in prison, he acted as the senior officer and looked after the morale of his troops at great risk to himself. After his release in 1973, Denton was promoted to CAPT and later RADM and in 1980 won election to the United States Senate where he worked with President Reagan to fight communism in Latin America. A clean very presentable copy.
