John T. Downey

Well, fascinating. An ironic, happy ending to a very, very difficult tale. The book is called Prisoner of Lies, America's Longest Held POW, Jack Downey's Cold War. And it's filled with much more detail than we have gone through here. And a fascinating lens to look at all of the Cold War, which we have talked about a lot on this show. This is very exciting to read.
