The author holds the dubious distinction of being America's longest held civilian prisoner-of-war in Vietnam. A decorated U.S. Marine, he had been court-martialed out of the Corps in 1961; he was shot down and captured in Laos in 1965 while flying civilian supply missions. While his story is a fairly conventional, ex-POW memoir, there is a special twist: Brace upheld the military "Code of Conduct," which prescribes noncooperation with his captors, despite his civilian status. Thus he attempted several escapes, kept faith with his fellow prisoners, etc. The author narrates these events simply, and his actions appear all the more heroic for his lack of pretension. Highly recommended. Richard W. Grefrath, Univ. of Nevada Lib., Reno
