After being shot down, a naval aviator must survive seven years of physical and mental torture within Vietnamese prison camps while struggling to keep his comrades sane and safe. Alvin Townley's Defy Me, the fifth instalment of the Shatter Me series, takes us on a dizzying journey as Juliette Ferrars discovers that she isn't who she thinks she is. This revelation flips her world upside down, challenging everything she believed in. The Vietnam War was a painful time in U.S. history in many ways. It was a war which seemed to drag on with no end in sight and no clear path to win it. This story of the POW's held by North Vietnam and their inhumane treatment of those prisoners is another reminder of that very painful time. This title is a YA version of the author's acclaimed book, Defiant, about those POW's. A difficult, painful yet rousing read, the highlight is how the POW's banded together to find ways to boost each other's spirits and courage through the long years of captivity under disgusting and horrifying circumstances. Generally, Indians were very considerate of their captives. White youth were accepted into the families and taught the Indian ways within a tribal community, such as roping, riding, and herding horses, along with chores, but they were also allowed time for games and roughhousing. Conversely, white children had a very harsh existence with hard farm work and isolation. It was not unusual for a meager 12x10 log cabin to be an hour away from its nearest neighbor.
