Grit to Live Again

"Grit to Live Again" shares the experiences of an American soldier and prisoner of war held captive by the Peoples Republic of China during the Korean War. He was held prisoner for approximately 32 months, from early 1951 until the war ended in September of 1953. This book includes the soldier's personal memoirs from that imprisonment, which he wrote 14 years later. When he shared his memoirs with the author 37 years later, he attached a request that they be published after his death. The author has also presented the records from this POW's interrogation records (previously sealed by the US military), the challenges he and his wife had to deal with as he recovered from the abuse in the PRC's POW Camps, and the mistrust expressed by the US upon his repatriation.
