Requests:  0 Summary:  "Naval aviator Jeremiah Denton was captured in North Vietnam in 1965. As a POW, Jerry Denton led a group of fellow American prisoners in withstanding gruesome conditions behind enemy lines. They developed a system of secret codes and covert communications to keep up their spirits. Later, he would endure long periods of solitary confinement. Always, Jerry told his fellow POWs that they would one day return home together. Although Jerry spent seven and a half years as a POW, he did finally return home in 1973 after the longest and harshest deployment in U.S. history. Denton's story -- including that of the men he led, and of his wife, who fought for prisoners' rights while he was held captive -- is an extraordinary narrative of human resilience and endurance. Townley grapples with themes of perseverance, leadership, and duty while also deftly portraying the deeply complicated realities of the Vietnam War in this gripping narrative project for YA readers."--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 959.7043 To Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library YA -- Nonfiction 959.7043 To Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 959.7043 To Lost 05/02/2022 Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 959.7043 To Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
