They Wouldn't Let Us Die

Om They Wouldn't Let Us Die

Immediately after their release from captivity in Vietnam, veteran broadcast journalist Rowan set out to discover how the POWs were able to survive their long years of physical and mental torture. In this important book, he presents twelve gripping interviews with the true heroes of that era: Navy Lieutenant Commander John S. McCain, Marine Corps pilot Ernest Brace, and Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Robert L. Stirm, among them. McCains words from thirty-plus years ago foreshadow the direction his life has taken: I feel that I have at least found what I want to do in life, which is to make a contribution to the betterment of this country, whether it be in or out of the military. I have lost a lot of personal ambition, and its been replaced by an ambition to make a contribution rather than to do something to improve my own status. I feel that Im much better for the experience that I had. "Solid reporting by a solid reporter"-Dan Rather.
