Glory Denied: The Vietnam Saga of Jim Thompson, America's Longest-Held Prisoner of War: The Vietnam Saga of Jim Thompson, America's Longest-Held Prisoner of War

Now hailed as a classic, one of the most unforgettable and heartbreaking books ever written about the Vietnam War.

Glory Deniedâ€”the harrowing story of Americaâ€™s longest-held POW, the wrenching agonies faced by his family, and the larger story of a nation dividedâ€”returns to Norton a decade after its much-heralded publication. Excerpted in The New Yorker and later made into an opera, it is the heroic story of Floyd â€œJimâ€ Thompson, captured in March 1964, who became the longest-held prisoner of war in American history. Tom Philpott juxtaposes Thompsonâ€™s capture, torture, and multiple escape attempts with the trials of his young wife, Alyce, who, feeling trapped, made choices that forever tied her fate to the war she despised. â€œOne of the most honest books ever written about Vietnamâ€ (Oliver Stone), Glory Denied demands that we rethink the definition of a true American hero.
