About the Book

...packed with riveting real-life stories, fascinating facts about POWs and MIAs, and unique art and illustrations... --Stars and Stripes

Engaging true stories for older children and adults!

A is for Artists whose artwork reflects the hardships of prison life. E is for Escape as determined prisoners make daring plans to regain their freedom.

More than one hundred thousand American service members have been captured by an enemy and imprisoned during war. Tens of thousands are still missing. This book tells the true stories of only a few of these brave men and women, but their stories represent the experiences of many others.

The accompanying illustrations are based on surviving artwork, current and historic photographs, and firsthand descriptions of people, places, and events.

From Geneva Conventions to Operation Homecoming, Tap Code to Yellow Ribbon and more, N is for Never ForgetT is a compelling journey through wartime history, honoring the sacrifices of prisoners of war (POWs), those missing in action (MIA), and their families.

Poignant illustrations and stories capture key people, concepts, and memorials to help readers understand and honor the sacrifices endured by men and women prisoners of war and missing in action on behalf of freedom.


-- Engaging format interests readers of all levels. Single lines of text describe each letter's key message, while longer true stories complement full-page color illustrations and bring POW-MIA concepts to life.
-- Topics to Discuss and Ways to Honor sections prompt critical thinking, conversations, and calls to action to develop compassionate leaders of the future.
