Description

When Hell Froze Over: The Memoir of a Korean War Combat Physician Who Spent 1010 Days in a Communist Prison CampDr. William Shadish was a Korean War combat physician and prisoner of war. His descriptions of medical care on the front lines differ considerably from those found in the popular fictional television series, "M. A. S. H.," or in most Hollywood films. Even more important is his portrayal of the North Korean POW camps, where his captors, in preparation for their indoctrination programs, deliberately sought to weaken the physical and mental well being of

Dr. William Shadish was a Korean War combat physician and prisoner of war. His descriptions of medical care on the front lines differ considerably from those found in the popular fictional television series, "M.A.S.H.," or in most Hollywood films. Even more important is his portrayal of the North Korean POW camps, where his captors, in preparation for their indoctrination programs, deliberately sought to weaken the physical and mental well-being of their prisoners. Dr. Shadish fought valiantly, and often successfully, against these so-called "brainwashing" sessions. He also stubbornly demanded better food, shelter, clothing, and medical care for his men. Such aggressive tactics earned him the enmity of the Chinese camp officers, as well as several trips to the punishment hole. Despite his courageous efforts, William Shadish, like all returning American prisoners, faced accusations of collaboration on his return to the States. That such charges reflected the Red Scare tenor of the times more than they did reality mattered little to these men who had sacrificed so much for their country.

Cute but slim fit not wide foot friendly
Size: 8.5, Color: Black
Bought these and they were so cute! The only thing was they were wide enough and I don’t typically have a wide foot. I would maybe size up or look for a wider fitting shoe if you have a wide foot. But the style and heel height were perfect not to high! I ended up returning because of the slim fit.

Love these
Size: 8.5, Color: Coffee
So comfortable, stylish, and easy to wear. This can be used with any outfit, whether it’s casual or something more dressy like for work. They are comfortable and easy to wear for eight hours at a time. Heel is nice and thick and very stable, which makes for walking in a heel very comfortable. The color is a beautiful nude, which does not look too chalky or too brown. This is a stable in my

Great nude shoe!
Size: 10, Color: Nude
Perfect nude dressy heal. Was not uncomfortable at all. I thought my toes would be sliding out. I did put grips on the bottoms because they are a tiny bit slippery and I am prone to falling. Cute and didn’t distract from my dress.

Only wear for short distances
Size: 8, Color: Nude
These heeled sandals were very cute and flattering. After a couple minutes of walking, my feet began to hurt. I got blisters upon removal. A few days later I tried wearing them again, it is still extremely painful. Great for pictures though!
