Synopsis:

The word ‘hero’ is used far too often. So is the word ‘courage.’ In the case of Capt. Eugene McDaniel and his hellish experience during the Vietnam War, neither word accurately describes his struggle in enduring the horrors of being one of the most brutalized Prisoner of War (POW).

When his plane was shot down over the skies of Vietnam, McDaniel would be captured and spend six agonizing years as a POW in Hanoi Hilton. His captors used barbaric and sadistic torture techniques on him, but McDaniel remained a source of hope and strength for his fellow POWs by clinging to his faith in even the darkest of hours.

In this 35th anniversary edition of Scars and Stripes, a whole new generation of Americans will come to understand the power of prayer, belief, and devotion to God had in sustaining McDaniel during his six years as a POW in Vietnam. 

About the Author:

On May 19, 1967, while on his 81st combat mission over North Vietnam, Eugene Red McDaniel was shot down while flying his A-6 Intruder aircraft. He was listed as missing in action until 1970, when the Hanoi government acknowledged that he was being held prisoner. A POW for more than six years, McDaniel was finally released March 4, 1973. Scars and Stripes is the story of how his faith in God enabled him to endure being one of the most brutally tortured prisoners of the Vietnam War.
