James N. Rowe (1938–1989)

Striving to be faithful to his military code of honor, Rowe must evade his captors' demands while keeping his conscience intact and himself alive. This book gives the most exhaustive details about interrogation techniques used by the Viet Cong/NVA. Rowe gives the fatalistic sense of overwhelming despair which prisoners were meant to experience or else capitulate to the demands of their torturers.
