"In August, 1964 an American pilot was shot down and captured by the North Vietnamese. In the following years of the Vietnam War, hundreds of American prisoners of war were interrogated, starved and tortured in Communist prisons. 'Prisoners of hope' presents the experiences of ten of these individuals who were denied that most valuable and precious possession ... freedom. Their stories are filled with suffering and survival; death and deliverance. But above all, they are testimonies of courage, faith, and a sustaining hope that refused to die."--Container
