This memoir recounts the time Jeremiah Denton spent as a Prisoner of War in the Vietnam War. Denton's aircraft was downed and he was made to live in several different war camps throughout the time he was imprisoned. While there, his rank allowed him to "command" the other prisoners in the camps. They devised a way to communicate with each other through a variation on Morse code. Denton encouraged his men to abstain from talking with their captors, resulting in the torture of the POW's.
