Two souls indivisible : the friendship that saved two POWs in Vietnam

Hirsch recounts a remarkable friendship forged between two U.S. soldiers in one of the most harrowing settings the twentieth century has ever produced--the North Vietnamese POW camp known as the Zoo. Their captors threw them into the same fetid cell, believing that their antipathy toward each other would break them both. But Cherry and Halyburton overcame initial suspicion to save each other's lives.

  • "An unforgettable true story, Two Souls Indivisible stirringly recounts the forging of a legendary, heroic bond between two soldiers. Fred Cherry and Porter Halyburton first met in their shared cell in a brutal POW camp in Vietnam. Cherry, an air force pilot, was badly injured after his plane crashed; he became the first black officer to be captured by the North Vietnamese. Halyburton, a young navy flier, was a naive white southerner thrown in as Cherry's cellmate. Their captors hoped close quarters would inflame American-bred racial tensions and break both men. Instead, American integrity and honor flourished, and as Cherry was nursed back to health, a friendship grew strong. The intense connection, powerfully reported by James S. Hirsch, would sustain both men through the war and throughout their lives. Inspiring, heartbreaking, remarkable, and never more timely, Two Souls Indivisible shows how good people can achieve greatness in the most hellish of circumstances."
  • "Chronicles the life-saving friendship that developed between a black Air Force officer and a white Navy pilot from a privileged Southern background while they were both prisoners of the North Vietnamese during the Vietnam War."
