ROCHESTER, N.Y., (Hinton News) – Indigo 15, LLC proudly presents the long-awaited release of Forest of Darkness, a harrowing and deeply moving memoir written by the late James E. Jackson, a U.S. Special Forces soldier captured in 1966 by the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam [Viet Cong] and held in captivity for 16 months. Although the author passed away in 2019, his remarkable story, penned nearly 50 years ago, stands as a testament to the courage and resilience of those who served during the Vietnam War.

  2. Exploration of the Human Spirit: This book delves deep into the resilience and strength of the human spirit. Through Jackson’s story, readers witness the power of faith, a positive outlook and unwavering character in overcoming unimaginable adversity. It serves as a reminder of the indomitable nature of human will.
  3. Unforgettable Encounters: Forest of Darkness also recounts the exchanges with fellow prisoners and captors, shedding light on the complexities of human nature amidst the chaos of war.
  4. Historical Significance: Forest of Darkness provides a unique perspective on a pivotal era in American history. It offers insights into the challenges faced by soldiers and the impact of war on individuals and society.
