For nearly three and a half years, until he was liberated by the Russians in Manchuria, he remained a prisoner of war. Here is his account of this long and terrifying captivity. \"It is one of the most harrowing and debilitating chronicles that I have read. . . . He describes the ordeal brilliantly; he harbors no resentments apparently, and he has emerged from an inferno of bestiality with utter serenity.\" -- Maxwell Geismar, \u003cem\u003eSaturday Review\u003c\/em\u003e \"An impressive and moving book.\" -- David Dempsey, \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e \"His is no ordinary prisoner-of-war story; better written than most, it contains no tales of swashbuckling defiance. . . . The force of this book is its testimony to the indomitable strength of the human spirit.\" -- \u003cem\u003eManchester Guardian\u003c\/em\u003e \"The plain narrative of this story would by itself have been fascinating, but this book is far more than a story, it is a work of art.\" -- André Siegfried, Academie Francaise \"Sidney Stewart's composed narrative is one of the most noble documents ever penned by a prisoner of war. The companions he writes about remained men to the end, until at last only one man remained; he survived to write this unforgettable, this magnificent story.\" -- George Slocombe, \u003cem\u003eNew York Herald Tribune\u003c\/em\u003e [Paris]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eStewart, Sidney:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eSidney Stewart\u003c\/strong\u003e lived in Europe for many years.
