Daniel
In 1968 Major Daniel Leighton's F-4 Phantom was shot down over North Vietnam. For several days Leighton crept through the jungle, trying to reach the ocean and some hope of rescue. If he could steal a boat and attract the attention of Naval Air/Sea Rescue, he might be saved. He managed to find a small boat but just as he was about to sail it out onto the Gulf of Tonkin, he was captured and taken the Hoa Lo Prison, the infamous Hanoi Hilton.
Daniel was pressured to cooperate with the Camp authorities and, initially, he refused, but they weren't about to let him get away with saying 'no.' The pressure to cooperate seemed unbearable but eventually Daniel found an unexpected way to redeem his honor. Over the term of his imprisonment Leighton formed friendships with many of his fellow prisoners, some who survived to return home and some who did not.
Eventually, Daniel came home and that's the second half of the book.
