In the end, politicians negotiate, and soldiers come home. But the seldom-discussed tragedy of captivity leaves deep and lasting scars in those who return as well as in their families. Prisoners of war suffer immeasurable humiliation and pain at their captors' hands.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHistorically, the mortality rate for American POWs averages 12 percent. The one exception was the POWs held in North Korea from 1950 to 1953; they died at a rate of 42 percent, nearly four times more than any other war.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eLetters from a Captive Heart\u003c\/i\u003e is not a war story, as little of the tale takes places on the battlefield. It's a story of honor, strength, and heartbreak in the POW camps of North Korea and back home in America's heartland. This historical novel starkly portrays the contrast between the innocence of the early 1950s in rural Kentucky and the horrific reality of the POW camps. \u003cp\u003eIn this moving and poignant saga about the effects of war, we find there is nothing more fragile than a captive's heart and nothing more powerful than its story of survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Russell Lunsford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595460925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595460922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.84d","brand":"Russell Lunsford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483579855103,"sku":"9780595460922","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7d75bf58-1a15-4551-9f67-f10879a5ea0e.jpg?v=1778039427","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/letters-from-a-captive-heart-russell-lunsford-9780595460922","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
