This amazing story of triumph over seemingly insurmountable odds has been filmed by Werner Herzog as both a documentary (<em>Little Dieter Needs to Fly</em>) and a motion picture (<em>Rescue Dawn, </em> starring Christian Bale), and now receives its book treatment from Bruce Henderson, who served with Dengler in Vietnam<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>In February 1966, Dieter Dengler was shot down over neutral Laos in jungle territory controlled by Pathet Lao guerrillas and North Vietnamese regulars, who captured and held him in a fortified prisoner-of-war camp. Already a legend in the navy for his unique escape skills, the German-born Dengler proved to be no ordinary prisoner. Caught in a desperate situation, imprisoned by the enemy and by the jungle itself, Dengler set out to free not only himself but also other POWs--American, Thai, and Chinese--some of whom had been held for years. </p><p>Bruce Henderson, who served with Dengler aboard USS <em>Ranger</em>, tells the complete story of Dengler's captivity and remarkable escape--based on in-depth personal interviews as well as military archival materials, some never before made public--in this riveting account of unending optimism, courage, loyalty, and survival against overwhelming odds.</p>
