  1. 1. When Hell Was In Session

    An Admiral's Story

    A firsthand memoir of a U.S. Navy aviator’s seven years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam, recounting his capture after being shot down, the brutal torture, solitary confinement and deprivation he endured, and the ways faith, discipline, and camaraderie with fellow prisoners sustained resistance to enemy interrogation and propaganda — including a famous covert signal made during a forced televised appearance — until eventual release and return to freedom.
