POW — Eric Helm

"I will ask you questions, you will give me answers." And the Vietcong commander knew just how to ask questions of the three American soldiers who had become his prisoners. When units from U.S. Army Special Forces Camp A-555, the Triple Nickel, were lured into a well-planned VC ambush south of the Parrot's Beak, the Americans had their bodies and minds broken under the sadistic torture of an embittered Vietcong general. Marked for death in reprisal for the shooting of three Vietcong in De Nang, the Americans knew that they had to escape. But escape seemed impossible Eric Helm is the pen name of two Vietnam veterans, men who were there and who now tell it like it was.
