The word hero is used far too easily in today's world. So is courage. But in the case of Navy Captain Eugene Red McDaniel and his astonishing experiences during the Vietnam War, neither word begins to describe the years he spent as one of America's most brutalized— and inspirational—prisoners of war. WND Books is honored to re-release McDaniel's tragic and ultimately inspiring story of survival as POW with the 30th Anniversary Edition of Scars & Stripes: The True Story of One Man's Courage Facing Death as a POW in Vietnam. After his A6A Intruder was shot down in the skies over Vietnam, McDaniel would be captured and spend six agonizing years as a POW in the notorious Hanoi Hilton. Despite the sadistic and barbaric ways his captors tortured him, McDaniel remained a source of hope and strength for his fellow POWs by clinging to his faith in God in even the darkest of hours. Classified as missing in action until 1970, when the Hanoi government acknowledged he was being held prisoner, he remained a POW for more than six years. Capt. Eugene McDaniel's faith in God was an inspiration to his fellow POWs during times of intense physical and psychological suffering. No matter one's trials, readers will discover in Scars & Stripes that McDaniel's heroic story re- affirms the truth that reliance on God will always bring the light needed in times of darkness. The light needed in times of darkness.
