During the Vietnam War, hundreds of American POWs faced years of
brutal conditions and horrific torture at the hands of communist
interrogators who ruthlessly plied them for military intelligence
and propaganda. Determined to maintain their Code of Conduct, the
prisoners developed a powerful underground resistance. To quash it,
the North Vietnamese 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. As these men
suffered in Hanoi, their wives launched an extraordinary campaign
that would ultimately spark the POW/MIA movement. When the
survivors finally returned, one would receive the Medal of Honor,
another became a U.S. Senator, and a third still serves in
Congress. A story of survival and triumph in the vein of Unbroken
and Band of Brothers, Defiant will inspire anyone wondering how
courage, faith, and brotherhood can endure even in the darkest of
situations.
