"Author was a young Navy pilot who was captured by the North Vietnamese in June of 1967. As a former POW, McGrath believes that the story of life in the prison camps must be told, both for the sake ofhistory and to disprove forever the claims of the Communist government that the captured men were treated humanely, and in accordance with the provisions of the Geneva Convention... The starkness of the drawings underscores a remarkable chronicle of lives constantly in peril, almost unimaginable in civilised times." - from dust jacket.
