The author and her family were imprisoned by the Viet Cong while they were on missionary work in Vietnam. Carolyn Miller was captured by the NVN in 1975. She and her family were members of the Wycliffe Bible Translators whose mission is to go live among remote ethnic groups, learn their language and write them a Bible. Assigned to South Vietnam in 1961 to study the Bru tribespeople, they lived among them and began compiling a manuscript for the Bible translation. In March of 1975, the entire group was rounded up by the Communists and hiked North. They eventually arrived in Son Tay. She described her quarters as a former prison with one wall bombed out. She and family were housed in the Opium Den and visited (interrogated) by an the same Vietnamese that had contact with American Prisoners of War prior to 1973, a smooth talking, mild mannered officer that obviously was Nugyen Van Dung or Happy Dan, aka Soft Soap Fairy, Cat's "good guy" guy in the good guy-bad guy routine. He was still complaining about having a better education than his superiors and yet he was not invited to attend the national congress that year. The family was ousted months later, November, without the fifty-thousand word manuscript that represented their fourteen years of work. They returned to the States to accept another assignment. Captured! pulses with all the drama of a novel, yet is the true story of real people caught in the crossfire of war and revolution. From the frightening explosion of bombs around their home in Vietnam to the triumphant welcome on their return to the United States, Carolyn Miller tells of her family's capture and eight months of internment as prisoners of the Liberation Armed Forces--the Vietcong. "I am enormously impressed, both by Carolyn's genius for writing and by the amazing spirit, not just of fortitude but of deeply Christian hope than comes through it. It is an arrestingly told story as well as an arresting one." - Prof. C.F.D. Moule, Cambridge University. "I just finished rereading Captured! I read it before I joined Wycliffe in 1978 and appreciate it so much more now." - Jane Pappenhagen, Wycliffe International. "The book is marvelous and I will treasure it." - Paul L. Seitz, Bishop of Kontum, Vietnam. "I am impressed by the unvarnished straightforwardness of the account. It is easy to identify with. It rings so true." - Barbara Wibberly, OMF, Thailand. "Every night before going to bed I read the book. I sometimes get so involved in reading it and forget to sleep. I had felt the Vietnamese War had taken place in another planet but now I feel very close to it." - Eiko Ujitani, Japan. "It was read over FM radio here in San Diego by John Arthur and kept me spellbound. I had to go out and get a copy. I sure did enjoy it." - Carole Moore, California. "I feel as if she were in my living room telling me the story." - Dr. Josephine Rickard, Houghton College. "It's beautiful! Believe me, it made me miss Vietnam so much! I read it twice and lent it to a lot of friends."- Thuong Van Lam, Ph.D., Asia-Pacific Teaching Fellow. "Captured! was one of the five finalists for the best book of the year in the biography category at the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association." - Leslie R. Keylock, Editor, Christian Herald Books. Seller Inventory # 86543
