Defiant
Archival Summary & Scope
Winner of the Georgia Author of the Year Award in History, Alvin Townley's *Defiant* chronicles the extraordinary true story of the "Alcatraz 11"—American POW leaders during the Vietnam War. Enduring brutal conditions and torture in an isolated North Vietnamese prison, these eleven men formed an underground resistance, while their wives launched the nationwide POW/MIA movement at home. This powerful narrative of courage, survival, and brotherhood explores the dual fight for freedom and how these individuals—including a future Medal of Honor recipient and U.S. Senators—defied their captors and inspired a nation.Archival Categorization Notes
