This is the story of Teddy R. Sprouse, an ordinary citizen born and raised in the Middle West.

He was a soldier, a noncommissioned officer, who became involved in the early days of the war in Korea. Captured in the fighting, he spent almost three years as a prisoner of war.

The horror of this experience- the author calls it a life in limbo- turned into a trauma of psychological problems when Sprouse returned home after the Armistice of 1953.

The unsettling condition persisted over the years until Sprouse, finally, with help of the Veterans Administration, won his way back to normality.

Historians and other writers have rarely focused on this post war aberration that struck many Korean War survivors. It is a personal odyssey to mental health. This book is interesting and highly readable work (155 pages.) It's very fast reading and it captures the hardships and torment imposed on those who were in limbo during the Korean War a half century ago.
