US Navy LCDR Izac was taken prisoner by the Germans during WWI where he was able to gather intelligence during confinement.  He never gave up and made numerous escape attempts before being successful.  He was awarded the US Medal of Honor, and I am honored to tell you his story.


You can find his book here: 

Prisoner of the U-90
