Sumario:On 20 September 1965 Airman First Class Bill Robinson, a helicopter mechanic, was shot down in North Vietnam. He spent more than seven years in multiple North Vietnamese prison camps.

The book presents a detailed account of Robinson's early years and devotes substantial coverage to his postrelease life.
