Barry Werth, author of "Prisoner of Lies"

Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum - Theater
Atlanta, GA

This is the true story of the longest-held prisoner of war in American history, John Downey, Jr., a CIA officer captured in China during the Korean War and imprisoned for twenty-one years. Prisoner of Lies is based in part on a prison memoir that Downey wrote several years after his release. Barry Werth fluently weaves excerpts from the memoir with the Cold War events that determined Downey鈥檚 fate.
