This chapter shows Martin’s experience at the Special Forces SERE Instructor Qualification Course, where he encountered the legendary Col. Nick Rowe – who was assassinated on April 21, 1989. At some point during captivity, Col. Rowe said in his lecture, an American POW could face very hard decisions under coercion to turn against his country. He was there to teach a hand-to-hand combat technique Col. Rowe was especially keen on: “the whip.” He glanced at Col. Rowe, who apparently was enjoying this little interrogation, and then back at me. I noticed Col. Rowe was grinning broadly.
