Following the North Korean assault on the Republic of Korea in June of 1950, the invaders captured more than a thousand American soldiers and brutally executed hundreds more. American prisoners who survived their initial moments of captivity faced months of neglect, starvation, and brutal treatment as their captors marched them north toward prison camps in the Yalu River Valley. Cold Days in Hell provides a detailed account of their captivity and offers valuable insights into an ongoing issue: the conduct of prisoners in the hands of enemy captors.

What did you love best about Cold Days in Hell: American POWs in Korea?
It is always amazing to me how resilient the human body and will is when faced with incredible physical, emotional and mental suffering. The stories of what the American soldiers suffered at war and in captivity were astonishing. The Korean war falls in the middle of two conflicts that have received more visibility in our modern day culture. Even though it is a forgotten war, the men who died and survived need to have their tales remembered.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Probably Father Capone. His story of quiet defiance and commitment to the sheep in his flock was inspiring.
Have you listened to any of Capt. Kevin F. Spalding USNR-Ret.’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is my first audio-book ever. I love to read and wasn't sure if I would like the experience. I did like the narration and felt like Capt. Spalding kept the book lively, using vocal variation and mimicking the quoted statements from the American, Korean and Chinese characters.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The extreme brutality towards the prisoners was angering, especially the mental and emotional abuse.
