Great biography of a great American couple. Smitty was #3 USAF POW in the Vietnam war and this describes his epic eight year journey in North Vietnam's prison system. I was drawn to the title: "Tap Code" as the primary means of communication during their imprisonment. Communication is key to survival. Smitty was credited with bringing the tap code to the 3rd Allied POW Wing. This book is eloquently written and perfectly portrays the heartbreak and pain of the whole experience.

Tap Code: The Epic Survival Tale of a Vietnam POW and the Secret Code That Changed Everything is an amazing story about survival in some of the harshest conditions imaginable. I am truly fascinated by what man can endure. Tap Code is about Colonel Carlyle “Smitty” Harris and his wife, Louise during his eight years in captivity in Vietnam. I cannot even imagine the pain and suffering he went through. This book provides a glimpse into that experience. Read moRead more… (mer)

This book is a realistic picture of a TRUE American hero and the family who daily endured knowing their loved one was a POW during the Vietnam war. Yes, HERO! I don't see how anyone can read the story of the daily torture (mentally and physically) of a POW and not feel like these people are a perfect example of the most perfect reflection of what being an honorable hero means. I have read many first-hand accounts of life endured in a POW camp and found this one to be one of the most beautifully written. I am honored to have been able to listen in as these memories were recorded as a way for us to never forget the extent some people went in order to preserve our freedoms. This family endured more than I can comprehend, yet gave a constant example of the powerful strength that faith and family can create an unbreakable bond that will long withstand 8 years of torture. I wish I could directly express my admiration and appreciation to the entire Harris family. They are long overdue much more than can possibly be repaid. Since I can't speak directly to them, I can speak to the ones who read this review. Please read this book. You will not regret it and can never forget it.… (mer)
