Summary
When Hell Was in Session is a powerful memoir by Jeremiah Denton, a U.S. Navy pilot who was shot down over North Vietnam in 1965 and held as a prisoner of war for nearly eight years. The book details his harrowing experiences enduring torture, solitary confinement, and brutal interrogations in the infamous Hanoi Hilton prison. Denton describes how he and fellow POWs maintained their dignity and resisted their captors through faith, discipline, and covert communication. His account offers a gripping firsthand look at survival, resilience, and patriotism under extreme circumstances during the Vietnam War.
