As a young boy, Jong-hwan Ree was abducted from his family and forced to serve as a food runner on the front lines in the Korean War. If it were not for his industrious study of the English language, he would never have been able to negotiate for his life and obtain the position of liaison between US and ROK troops. An American doctor took him under his wing and taught him the subjects he should have been learning in school. This true account of his personal triumph over phenomenal odds is a story for all ages.
