About this product
Product Information
" Unbroken meets Band of Brothers-- and then some." --Congressman Pete Sessions During the Vietnam War, hundreds of American prisoners-of-war faced years of brutal conditions and horrific torture at the hands of North Vietnamese guards and interrogators who ruthlessly plied them for military intelligence and propaganda. Determined to maintain their Code of Conduct, the POWs developed a powerful underground resistance. To quash it, their captors singled out its eleven leaders, Vietnam's own "dirty dozen," and banished them to an isolated jail that would become known as Alcatraz. None would leave its solitary cells and interrogation rooms unscathed; one would never return. "Inspirational." -- Kirkus Reviews As these men suffered in Hanoi, their wives back at home launched an extraordinary campaign that would ultimately spark the POW/MIA movement. When the survivors of Alcatraz finally returned, one would go on to receive the Medal of Honor, another would become a U.S. Senator, and a third still serves in the U.S. Congress. A story of survival and triumph, courage and brotherhood, Alvin Townley's Defiant is a compelling work that no reader will soon forget. "A riveting tribute to true American heroes."--Senator John McCain, POW (1967-73) This edition of the book is the deluxe, tall rack mass market paperback.

Reviews
A gripping account... Townley's telling of these important stories is fresh and vivid, thanks to his interviews with surviving prisoners and their family members. Townley also adds an important, and often overlooked, dimension to the prisoners' stories - that of their wives' campaign at home. - The New York Times Book Review "Alvin Townley's story of the courage, valor and honor of eleven indomitable POWs and their wives is a new American classic that will be read as long as the breezes kiss Old Glory. As I read it I wept." -Stephen Coonts
