Captured

an American prisoner of war in North Vietnam

"Naval aviator Jeremiah Denton was captured in North Vietnam in 1965. As a POW, Jerry Denton led a group of fellow American prisoners in withstanding gruesome conditions behind enemy lines. They developed a system of secret codes and covert communications to keep up their spirits. Later, he would endure long periods of solitary confinement. Always, Jerry told his fellow POWs that they would one day return home together. Although Jerry spent seven and a half years as a POW, he did finally return home in 1973 after the longest . . . deployment in U.S. history. Denton's story--including that of the men he led, and of his wife, who fought for prisoners' rights while he was held captive--is a . . . narrative of human resilience and endurance"--Provided by publisher.
