Scars and Stripes

The True Story of One Man's Courage Facing Death as a POW in Vietnam

De: Eugene Red McDaniel

Narrado por: Curtis Shelburne

The word hero is used far too often. So is the word courage. In the case of Capt. Eugene McDaniel and his hellish experience during the Vietnam War, neither word accurately describes his struggle in enduring the horrors of being one of the most brutalized Prisoner of War (POW).

When his plane was shot down over the skies of Vietnam, McDaniel would be captured and spend six agonizing years as a POW in Hanoi Hilton. His captors used barbaric and sadistic torture techniques on him, but McDaniel remained a source of hope and strength for his fellow POWs by clinging to his faith in even the darkest of hours.

In this 35th anniversary edition of Scars and Stripes, a whole new generation of Americans will come to understand the power of prayer, belief, and devotion to God had in sustaining McDaniel during his six years as a POW in Vietnam.

A hard account to hear but everyone needs to hear it!

This book tells of the grotesque conditions and treatment human beings can inflict on other human beings and how through it all God never leaves us. It’s a story of grit, teamwork, determination to survive, and never giving up because God showed up in ways that showed Red he saw him and loved him.
At first I was not sure I could get through the narration, it seemed to slow and deep in tone but it ended up being fantastic for the story. Very animated in parts that brought a bit of reality to the content.
