But a few hundred Americans placed their faith in their own hands and headed for the jungles. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne of them was twenty-three-year-old Clay Conner Jr., who had never even camped before . . .  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe obstacles to Conner's survival were as numerous as the enemy soldiers who ultimately put a price on his head: among them malaria, heat, jungle rot, snakes, and mosquitoes. Beyond that, the human threats of betrayal, capture, torture, and death. And, finally, he had to overcome self-doubt, struggle with the despair of burying comrades, deal with friction among his fellow American soldiers, and find a way to survive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut if conflict reveals character, Conner showed himself to be a man apart. Inspired by an unlikely alliance with a tribe of arrow-shooting pygmies, by the words in a dog-eared New Testament, and by a tattered American flag that he vowed to someday triumphantly fly at battalion headquarters, Conner emerged victorious from the jungle--after almost three years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eResolve \u003c\/i\u003eis the story of an unlikely hero who never surrendered to the enemy--and of a soldier who never gave up hope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bob Welch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0425257746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780425257746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Bob Welch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44756449820927,"sku":"9780425257746","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f0bf700-8e06-4b99-8872-a59c4e06154e.jpg?v=1706593021","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/resolve-bob-welch-9780425257746","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
