Review
"Needs to be read by all who desire to understand the stuff of which heroes are made."
"He made better decisions while pinned down flat in his dingy cells in Hanoi than the highly placed Washington officials of those years made in their padded swivel chairs."
"More so than any other books on the subject, this book gives the reade3r a sense of what it means to be imprisoned for a long time."
"Told in a controlled and quiet tone, this story grips the reader in a way no sensational telling could. Long awaited, and recommended."
"Engrossing . . . a top-drawer POW memoir, but what sets it apart is its unblinking concurrent narration of the Alvarez family's ordeal."
""Chained Eagle" is one of the best books on Vietnam I have seen, and with the recent death of the icon of the POW experience, Vice Adm. James B. Stockdale, it takes on greater importance."
"Absolutely riveting . . . "Chained Eagle" is one of the best books on Vietnam I have seen, and with the recent passing of that icon of the POW experience, Vice Admiral James B. Stockdale, it takes on greater importance."
