by Bruce K. Berger (Author)
". . . a reminder of the profound strength found in unwavering dedication, especially during life's most trying moments."-Eyun-Jung Ki, PhD, professor, author, and past president of the Korean American Communication Association
"This is not a book just for Vietnam vets; it is wisdom that can help most of us as we negotiate the jungles of today." -Richard Puffer, US Marine infantry platoon commander in Vietnam 1969-70
"This story not only sheds light on the often-overlooked aspects of military operations but also delves deep into the human element, exploring themes of duty, brotherhood, and the indelible mark of war on the human soul." -Charles Templeton, author of Boot: A Sorta Novel of Vietnam
". . . a triumph of storytelling about war, the bonds between soldiers, and the human spirit." -Mark Harris, former VP of Comms, IBM
How much can the human spirit endure? Buck, a Caucasian teacher, and Hues, a multiracial street preacher, form an unlikely friendship after meeting in a bar fight near their Army training base in 1969. When their helicopter crashes later in Vietnam and they're captured by Viet Cong soldiers, they begin to learn the power of brotherhood. Marched to a prison camp and forced into hard labor, they are beaten frequently and given little to eat or drink as they suffer a brutal life in a bamboo cage.
Each day begins with the ominous question: how can they survive another day? They discover the gift of good memories and share them often. And they find great hope in Hues's incredible life spirit that lights their darkest days.
Fourteen months after their capture, Hues damages his ankle so severely he can't walk. With death closer than ever, they escape and begin a harrowing journey through the dense jungle filled with predators-the enemy, the wildlife, and even their fellow soldiers who may not recognize them. Buck vows to carry Hues every step until they reach safety, but can they possibly make it? Their devotion to each other drives them onward.
