Description
Glory Denied: The Saga of Jim Thompson, America's Longest-Held Prisoner of WarHe was Born in New Jersey in 1933 and only dreamed of being a military man. Marrying shortly after high school, he joined the army in 1956 and was dispatched to Vietnam in 1963 when America still seemed innocent. Jim Thompson would have led a perfectly ordinary, undistinguished life had he not been captured four months later, becoming the first American prisoner in Vietnam and, ultimately, the longest held prisoner of war in American history.
He was Born in New Jersey in 1933 and only dreamed of being a military man. Marrying shortly after high school, he joined the army in 1956 and was dispatched to Vietnam in 1963 when America still seemed innocent. Jim Thompson would have led a perfectly ordinary, undistinguished life had he not been captured four months later, becoming the first American prisoner in Vietnam and, ultimately, the longest-held prisoner of war in American history. Forgotten Soldier is Thompson's epic story, a remarkable reconstruction of one man's life and a searing account that questions who is a real American hero. Examining the lives of Thompson's family on the home front, as well as his brutal treatment and five escape attempts in Vietnam, military journalist Tom Philpott weaves an extraordinary tale, showing how the American government intentionally suppressed Thompson's story.Binding Type: Hardcover

High Quality and Surprisingly Powerful
Color: Absolute Black, Size: Z1 Motor + Batteries
The Pros:
Unexpected Power: I usually know exactly what to expect with the products I order, but this unit really blew me away. It is surprisingly powerful and handles everything much better than I anticipated.
Premium Batteries Included: It was a great surprise to find that it came with Duracell batteries. Seeing a name-brand battery included really speaks to the overall quality of the product and shows they aren't cutting corners.
Solid Build: From the moment I set it up, the unit felt sturdy and well-constructed. It is rare to be this genuinely pleased with a purchase right out of the box.
The Cons:
Operating Noise: Because the motor is so powerful, it does produce a bit more noise than some weaker units. It isn't a dealbreaker, but it is noticeable during extended use.
Bottom Line:
This is a high-quality product that exceeded my expectations in both performance and presentation. The fact that it comes ready to go with reliable batteries is a huge plus. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Pleasantly surprised.
Color: Absolute Black, Size: Z1 Motor + Batteries
Honestly, I bought this because it was on sale and I needed to add something to my cart to get one day free shipping. I had zero expectations and thought I'd use it when I travel and won't have access to my espresso machine but I'm blown away by what it can accomplish in its small form factor. It took 30s to froth the milk and it was well-incorporated into the milk, not with just foam on top and milk at the bottom. I could have the frothed milk all day. It's easier to clean than the steam wand and it does plant-based milk cold foam!! It blows the Ikea one out of the water for about the same price point. Glad I stumbled into it!

Works great for daily use, just be prepared to replace batteries
Color: Absolute Black, Size: Z1 Motor + Batteries
I use this every morning to mix protein powder into my coffee, and it works well. It is quick, easy to use, and does a great job blending everything smoothly without clumps.
For the price, it’s a great little tool and has definitely been worth it for daily use.
The only downside is that I do have to replace the batteries fairly often, about every 3–4 weeks with regular use.
Overall, it’s a very convenient and effective frother, especially for the cost. I would recommend it, just keep extra batteries on hand if you plan to use it daily.

Good idea great product
Color: Gloss Black
I bought this as a gift. The person loves it. It’s very compact. She puts it in her bag and travels with it. It’s easy because you can charge it at home and then it’s already. She sometimes brings her charger with her so she can use it out.
