Summary

These are the words of Bill Smith, a young soldier captured in Korea in 1950. Miraculously saved by the misfiring of an enemy's gun, Bill was forced to march along with many of his buddies north to a camp near the Manchurian border. There they endured terrible torture when the Chinese tried to get them to sign a confession and swear allegiance to Communism.
