Description
The Chinese POW camps of the Korean War brought out the best, and the worst, in men. They were beaten, starved, and kept in cages with little medical care. Young Swede fights for himself and his fellow captives, determined to survive with his pride and honor intact. He has to survive the deathly cold of the first winter, when half the prisoners die. Once he is allowed to join the other prisoners, he teaches them to fight back, becoming one of the worst of the men the Chinese fear—the Reactionaries. Swede, and others, pay a high price for refusing to give up.
Described by readers as “hard to put down,” “mind boggling,” and “riveting.” Forgotten for seventy years. Now is their time to be remembered.
