Francis Pollini's novel "Night" (which was rejected by several American publishers in spite of its brilliant qualities), depicts the plight of American POW's, during the Korean war, in the face of crushing psychological techniques used by the Chinese, and vividly portrays the three main types of American prisoners: the ordinary citizen-soldier, meek and pliable; the traditional unflinching military hero; and the man of integrity and intelligence, torn between the natural urge to survive and his conditioning from infancy. .
