He was one of the first American prisoners of war I saw. He could speak Vietnamese and, unless in long sentences, he had only a slight accent... His legs were messed up badly from one of our hand-made mines. A piece of metal from the mine was still lodged in his head. Our new Story of the Week, Khanh Has The American Prisoner, takes us deep into the Vietnamese jungle - a world of mountains and mist, sweltering days and freezing nights, open-air latrines infested with maggots and blowflies; a world in which a small group of prisoners must attempt, somehow, to survive. themissingslate/2014/04/04/the-american-prisoner/
