{"product_id":"glory-denied-tom-philpott-9780393020120","title":"Glory Denied: The Saga of Jim Thompson, America's Longest-Held Prisoner of War","description":"He was Born in New Jersey in 1933 and only dreamed of being a military man. Marrying shortly after high school, he joined the army in 1956 and was dispatched to Vietnam in 1963 when America still seemed innocent. Jim Thompson would have led a perfectly ordinary, undistinguished life had he not been captured four months later, becoming the first American prisoner in Vietnam and, ultimately, the longest-held prisoner of war in American history. Forgotten Soldier is Thompson's epic story, a remarkable reconstruction of one man's life and a searing account that questions who is a real American hero. Examining the lives of Thompson's family on the home front, as well as his brutal treatment and five escape attempts in Vietnam, military journalist Tom Philpott weaves an extraordinary tale, showing how the American government intentionally suppressed Thompson's story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Philpott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393020126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393020120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
