To Hell And Beyond
In To Hell and Beyond, the hero didn’t wear silver wings on his uniform, and no screaming-eagle made from steel propelled him into battle. He didn’t belong to any Officer’s Club, and only the basic ribbons of a foot soldier graced his broad chest. The one thing he did have, which continues still today, is a love for his country, his fellow Americans, and a will to live that goes beyond description. In his slow southern drawl, SSgt. Nathan Henry, US Army, (Ret.) related to me what it was like to spend 2,094 days struggling to stay alive while a POW in Vietnam. As far as we know, this is the first enlisted man’s version of what happened during those gruesome years behind enemy lines.
This book, although based on one man, reveals the pride and determination of all POWs and their struggle to survive the tortures inflicted by the enemy in an effort to break their spirits and turn them against the country that had sent them to the Godforsaken jungles of Vietnam. It is a saga about triumph, courage, and patriotism. Follow the story of Nathan B. Henry, as told in vivid detail to author Beth W. Vinson, and tread with our nation’s most honorable men on their war-weary journey To Hell and Beyond.
