In every war there are prisoners, and in the terrible confines they are subjected to, they often have to choose between humiliation and humanity, between buckling-under and fighting back, and between surrender and survival. Making the right choice requires deep moral belief, and it requires a writer of the stature of Ha Jin to give us that moral perspective.
Ha Jin is a National Book Award Winner and former member of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. In his new book, "War Trash," he tells the story of Chinese prisoners in a U.S.-run POW camp during the Korean War. Two generations and half a world away, the tale still has a strong echo to the historical moment we are living in now.
Hear a conversation with Ha Jin about war, captivity, conflict, and psychological warfare in a POW camp.

2004 U.S. Senate Races |
Listen
While all eyes will be focused on the tight Presidential race, a fierce battle over control of Congress will also be waged on Election Day. In the House, Republicans appear to have a lock on majority status. But in the closely divided Senate, nine races are considered toss-ups. With Republicans now holding the slightest of majorities, control of the Senate is up for grabs.
Hear a conversation with Chuck Todd of The Hotline, a daily briefing put out by The National Journal, and with Gail Chaddock, Congressional correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor, about the close contest for control of the Senate.
