His story includes his childhood memories and continues to his life today. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In Korea, Pharis experienced horrific events. He witnessed his new commander, Colonel Martin, being cut in half by a Russian tank after engaging in a street fight with only a bazooka to defend himself. Less than forty yards separated Pharis from his higher-ranking officer, Second Lieutenant Thornton, when a North Korean madman dubbed \"The Tiger\" shot him in the back of the head on the infamous Death March. On numerous occasions, Pharis feared his life was over, including the three times he stood in front of a firing squad.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Some fellow POWs have been quoted in Remembered Prisoners of a Forgotten War by Lewis H. Carlson and In Mortal Combat by John Toland. In contrast, Pharis shares his personal experiences from the beginning to the end of the Korean War and recalls how he endured the challenges and miraculously survived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helen Greene Leigh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1452556067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781452556062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Balboa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/26\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Helen Greene Leigh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47427545792767,"sku":"9781452556062","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d3acbf48-8efb-4e1e-a69c-80cd02b2c5fd.jpg?v=1761580057","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sacrifices-for-patriotism-helen-greene-leigh-9781452556062","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
