In February 1966, Dieter Dengler was shot down over "neutral"
Laos in jungle territory controlled by Pathet Lao guerrillas and
North Vietnamese regulars, who captured and held him in a fortified
prisoner-of-war camp. Already a legend in the navy for his unique
escape skills, the German-born Dengler proved to be no ordinary
prisoner. Caught in a desperate situation, imprisoned by the enemy
and by the jungle itself, Dengler set out to free not only himself
but also other POWs--American, Thai, and Chinese--some of whom had
been held for years.
Bruce Henderson, who served with Dengler aboard USS "Ranger,"
tells the complete story of Dengler's captivity and remarkable
escape--based on in-depth personal interviews as well as military
archival materials, some never before made public--in this riveting
account of unending optimism, courage, loyalty, and survival
against overwhelming odds.
