This book is a positive statement about love and commitment in the midst of war and division. It contrasts the cold reality of war degradation and torture with the warmth of human connections inner serenity and kinship with all of life. It Poignantly illustrates that to be stripped of every thing that is familiar and by which we identify ourselves leaves us with only what unites us--our human identity. It conveys truths about relationships at every level--with ourselves with others. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Retired U.S. Navy captain Coffee was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam from 1966 to 1973 most of the time in Hanoi and in a cell by himself. How he endured and what he learned from the experience are the subjects of this inspiring book. By calling on his inner resources such as his faith his conviction that the United States was right to be in Vietnam his love for his family and his respect for his fellow prisoners he was able to overcome loneliness and the pain of torture. Each chapter is headed by a paragraph of invincible principles that Coffee discovered for himself during his ordeal: ``The only real security we have is the certainty that we're equipped to handle whatever happens to us''; ``Humor is integral to our peace of mind and ability to go beyond survival.''.
