Captured!: A World War II Memoir

On a cold winter night in January 1945, American soldiers fighting on the German border had taken shelter inside an abandoned Nazi bunker. Soon, the Germans returned and savagely attacked the fortification, killing twenty American soldiers and taking the survivors as prisoners. One of the American captives was a young soldier/poet named Hugh O'Neill. After O'Neill's death in 2001, a "lost" memoir of his POW experience was discovered. Published for the first time, this harrowing first-person account, with key passages illuminated by the artwork of artist, Gary Dumm, will shock, confound, and ultimately educate its readers with a true backstory from World War II that is both historic and unforgettable.
