Shot down during on a covert CIA mission over China in 1952, Jack Downey endured over two decades of imprisonment in Communist hands. Through consistent routines and mental discipline that enhanced his value to his captors, Downey maintained hope and optimism that he would one day be liberated. Exploring Jack Downey’s story is Barry Werth in his new book, “The Prisoner of Lies: Jack Downey’s Cold War.” Werth goes Inside the ICE House to discuss Downey’s life, before, during, and after his captivity, and the political complexities that delayed his release.
