As a POW, Jerry Denton led a group of fellow American prisoners in withstanding gruesome conditions behind enemy lines. They developed a system of secret codes and covert communications to keep up their spirits. Later, he would endure long periods of solitary confinement. Always, Jerry told his fellow POWs that they would one day return home together. Although Jerry spent seven and a half years as a POW, he did finally return home in 1973 after the longest and harshest deployment in U.S. history. Denton's story -- including that of the men he led, and of his wife, who fought for prisoners' rights while he was held captive -- is an extraordinary narrative of human resilience and endurance. Townley grapples with themes of perseverance, leadership, and duty while also deftly portraying the deeply complicated realities of the Vietnam War in this gripping narrative project for YA readers. 600 10 $a Denton, Jeremiah A., $c Jr. $q (Jeremiah Andrew), $d 1924-2014 $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Prisoners and prisons, North Vietnamese $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $z United States $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $z Vietnam $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 941 $a 17 952 $l FRPA224 $d 20240420010456.0 952 $l HLPC845 $d 20231010042250.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210021947.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201012544.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909053524.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20211215023900.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061418.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20210428013635.0 952 $l BKPC251 $d 20200327155431.0 952 $l ESPD725 $d 20191203011350.0 952 $l SPPE104 $d 20191114010848.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20190711012803.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20190614010406.0 952 $l SVPC124 $d 20190604153634.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20190514013728.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20190502032959.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20190403010744.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CB15653055D511E9AB2D382597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
