a different pow story

It's a good read. Different from life in Hanoi. I don't know how this woman lived through this ordeal..

A Story of Survival Against all Odds

This book is definitely worth reading from cover to cover! Told in the personal narratives of Monika Schwinn and Bernhard Diehl, it is the story of their survival in the prison camps during the Vietnam Conflict. Through hunger, sickness, and the injustices of war, their undaunting courage courage and perseverence, even in the most intolerable conditions, astounded me. After reading this book, it made me appreciate life, freedom, and peace to greater degree.

A True Tale of Good Verses Evil

Monica and Bernhard were two of five German nurses captured and subjected to four years of death, starvation and misery. As an American POW held with them, I can attest to their strength, their resolve, and their total bravery. While three of their compatriots died quickly, these two managed to survive in the brutal "Jungle POW camps."
