Synopsis
Lance Sijan was always a special kind of person: as a kid growing up in the Midwest; as a cadet who made his mark in the Air Force Academy. But it took Vietnam to show how special he wasin an epic of jungle survival and prison-camp defiance., On the night of November 9, 1967, Sijan was ejected from his crippled fighter-bomber over the steep mountains of Laos. Although critically injured and virtually without supplies, he evaded capture in savage terrain for six weeks. Finally caught and placed in a holding camp, he overpowered his guards and escaped, only to be captured again. He resisted his interrogators to the end, and he died two weeks later in Hanoi. His courage was an inspiration to other American prisoners of war, and he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.

    Great book about an incredible person!!!

    I knew about Lance Sijan since 1976, didn’t read this book until 12 years ago and have recently read it again. What an incredible true account of the dedication of an individual. Glad his legacy lives on in Sijan Hall at the USAF Academy. A definite read to reconfirm commitment and service over self!!!

    Positive Role Model In the Vietnam War

    Most information about the Vietnam War is of a negative tone. This book puts a positive light on a brave and honorable man. He represented the best of the U.S. military and conduct under extraordinary circumstances.
