Bean Camp to Briar Patch-Life in the POW Camps of Korea and Vietnam

John N. Powers

4.9/5 (17712 ratings)

Description:Bean Camp to Briar Patch details the life of American POWs during the Korean and Vietnam wars. Conditions in the camps are explained along with how the POWs coped with those conditions. Maps are included and for some camps names of the men (and women) held there are listed. Detailed histories of each of the main camps from both wars are given. Almost half of the POWs died from cold and starvation the first winter in Korea. The dead were stripped of clothing so the living could stay warm. Men were so weak they died while digging in the frozen ground to bury their buddies. In Vietnam the POWs endured extreme isolation. Some went years without seeing another American face to face. They were tortured to the point death was near, then were revived to be tortured again. They had to compete with the rats for their food. Americans know nothing about our POWs in Korea. Some recognize the name of the Hanoi Hilton from Vietnam, but know almost nothing about what happened to the men held there. This book will change that. The book was named Grand Prize winner in the 2013 Great Midwest Book Festival, a Silver Medal winner in the 2013 Stars and Flags Book Festival, a Finalist in the 2013 USA Best Book Awards, and Winner in the 2014 Pacific Book Awards.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
