"A graceful tribute to a quiet hero who sought only to serve his country well, and in doing so brought her glory." - U.S. Senator John McCain

"This is a stunningly important book about courage and suffering, heroism and humanity. The story of Ernest Pickett is one that none of us should ever forget. Read it and weep, read it and be proud." -
Jim Lehrer, The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer

"This in incomparably better than anything I've ever read about being a POW." - James Pattillo Past President, 20th Air Force Association

This gripping WWII memoir tells the story of a B-29 pilot who was shot down over the Japanese homeland. Highly descriptive, this account includes plenty of white-knuckle flying and the little-known story of the early deployment of the B-29 in India and China prior to the establishment of bases in the Pacific. The account of Mr. Pickett's thirteen months of captivity, six of them in solitary confinement, will stay in the reader's mind long after the book has been closed. Foreword by Lt. Gen. James V. Edmundson, USAF, retired.
