But a few hundred Americans placed their faith in their own hands and headed for the jungles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of them was twenty-three-year-old Clay Conner Jr., who had never even camped before . . . \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe obstacles to Conner’s survival were as numerous as the enemy soldiers who ultimately put a price on his head: among them malaria, heat, jungle rot, snakes, and mosquitoes. Beyond that, the human threats of betrayal, capture, torture, and death. And, finally, he had to overcome self-doubt, struggle with the despair of burying comrades, deal with friction among his fellow American soldiers, and find a way to survive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut if conflict reveals character, Conner showed himself to be a man apart. Inspired by an unlikely alliance with a tribe of arrow-shooting pygmies, by the words in a dog-eared New Testament, and by a tattered American flag that he vowed to someday triumphantly fly at battalion headquarters, Conner emerged victorious from the jungle—after almost three years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eResolve \u003c\/i\u003eis the story of an unlikely hero who never surrendered to the enemy—and of a soldier who never gave up hope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016651260144,"sku":"9780425257746","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780425257746_p0.jpg?v=1763701337","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780425257746","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
