Brookens (1926-2014) was lost in Vietnam in 1968 and released as a POW in 1973. This book tells his story. He spent 5 years as a prisoner of the Viet Cong. Living in cages and being transferred under the cover of darkness from Cambodia to South Vietnam, he suffered from malnutrition, beri-beri, malaria, jungle rot, and developed heart trouble. The diet consisted of rice, salt, dog and bear meat. “What they did to us what not human.”
