Plot Summary of Limbo on the Yalu... and Beyond!
"This book is based on a true story about a man, Ted Sprouse, and his experiences being a Prisoner of War in the Korean War. It is based on the manuscripts he had written. It gives a real understanding of what our men had to go through to protect the liberty so much of us take for granted. It is a very touching and inspirational book, leaving you feeling proud and in awe of what soldiers had to endure. It shows the value of friendship as the story portrays Ted's friendship with Don Cloud, and how important having a good friend is. This book is a wonderful way for people to learn of a war that seems almost forgotten. You may purchase this book at amazon.com or visit the homepage http://www.geocities.com/s1noopy "
