NEW First Edition, full number line hardcover, 2017. SIGNED by "Jerry", the former POW and subject of this book (scan #2). In 1965, USAF COL Thomas "Jerry" Curtis's rescue helicopter was shot down over North Vietnam while attempting to retrieve a downed pilot. Immediately captured, he spent 71/2 years confined in a filthy 5' x 7' cell at the notorious Hanoi prison camp. Thousands of miles from home and unable to communicate with his wife and children, Jerry endured months of solitary confinement, suffocating heat, freezing cold, grueling physical and psychological torture, constant hunger, and unimaginable mental duress. And yet, time and again, the Light that darkness cannot overcome became his beacon of hope. Jerry shares the full story of his 2,703 days in captivity and what he learned about faith, hope, and the indomitable power of the human spirit. Inspirational.
