摘要:

&NA;These are the stories of Betty Olsen, Hank Blood, Mike Benge and Doug Ramsey, two American missionaries and two State Department officials who were prisoners of the North Vietnamese and the Vietcong for many years. They are tales of gripping pathos and brave endurance in the face of unbelievable misery. They are also instructive personal accounts of what it's like to suffer and die of malnutrition. The student of nutrition will have read nothing like them.

摘要:

&NA;Until recently more soldiers died from illness and disease than from enemy bullets. Thousands of men died in prison camps. In recent conflicts the advances in sanitation, medical care and nutrition enabled most POWs to survive. The improvement in nutrition may be seen from these glimpses of how our countrymen fared in our past four wars.
