When Lieutenant Robert Wideman's plane crashed on a bombing run in the Vietnam War, he feared falling into enemy hands. Although he endured the kind of pain that makes people question humanity, physical torture was not his biggest problem. During six years as a prisoner of war, he saw the truth behind Jean-Paul Sartre's words: "Hell is other people." Unexpected Prisoner explores a POW's struggle with enemies and comrades, Vietnamese interrogators and American commanders, his lost dreams and ultimately himself.

Throughout most of his life, Jared Penn has been coping with the most common form of mental illness...depression. In September 2017, his life went spiraling downhill as his depression worsened and he decided to end his life. After a failed suicide attempt, the only result that came to be was property damage. Two months later, he was arrested from his accidental criminal act and sent to a psychiatric prison. Living in a violent and unpleasant environment, Jared would spend the next five months incarcerated among some of the most dangerous and criminally insane individuals. Prisoner of Depression is the story of one man's journey searching for freedom from prison and of his unwanted, negative emotions from depression. Filled with insights from the author's experience in an unfamiliar setting, his memoir tells a story of regret, survival, and resiliency. Prisoner of Depression has a mission to destigmatize and educate those who encounter individuals dealing with depression, suffering too often and too long without being acknowledged for their true selves. People can change, and people can heal. Most importantly, everyone's life has value, and everyone has something to contribute to this world. This book is just one of the many examples out there.

During the Second World War over 400,000 Germans and Italians were held in prison camps in Britain. These men played a vital part in the life of war-torn Britain, from working in the fields to repairing bomb-damaged homes. Yet despite the role they played, today it is almost forgotten that Britain once held POWs at all. For those who worked, played or fell in love with the enemies in their midst, despite restrictions and the opinions of their peers, those times remain vivid. Whether they took tea on the lawn with Italians or invited a German for Christmas dinner, the POWs were a large part of their lives. This book is the story of those men who were detained here as unexpected guests. It is about their lives within the camps and afterwards, when some chose to stay and others returned to a country that in parts had become a hell on earth.
