The Horrors of Vietnam War POW Captivity: A Tale of Two Fates.
TL;DR Summary
Two surviving Vietnam War POWs, Staff Sgt. Ken Wallingford and Capt. Mark Smith, recount their experiences of being held captive by the North Vietnamese forces in 1972. Wallingford spent 10 months in a bamboo enclosure, while Smith was held in a "hell hole" in the ground. They were eventually released in 1973 after the US bombed Hanoi and nearby Haiphong. The POWs credit President Richard Nixon for ending the war and getting them home.
