This is "the" definitive work regarding the Korean War POW experience from a veteran of the war who served with the 2nd Engineer Combat Bn, A Company, 2nd Infantry Division who was taken prisoner during the fierce days of the First Chinese Offensive, date: December 1, 1950.
Arden was taken captive with 360 fellow 2nd Combat Engineers as well as several
thousand other fellow servicemen, then, earlier and later.
With many years of thought and writing about his experiences, research led Arden to the Center For Military History in Washington, DC. There
he found the lengthy official report to which he has added his commentary as needed. This is not the full report, rather an edited version.
The original and full report was published in 1954. It is part of the
official body of work which includes many reports, medical studies among other reports. Original title: U.S. Prisoners of War in the Korean Operation.
