But in the midst of the struggle, Smitty remembered once learning the Tap Code - an old, long-unused World War II method of communication through tapping on a common water pipe. He covertly taught the code to many POWs, and in turn they taught others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimple and effective, the Tap Code quickly spread throughout the prison and became one of the most covert ways for POWs to communicate without their captors' knowledge. It became a lifeline during their internment - a morale booster, a vehicle of unity, and a way to communicate the chain of command and continue their underground operations, which ultimately changed the course of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBack home, meanwhile, Harris's wife, Louise, raised their three children alone, unsure of her husband's fate. One of the first POW wives of the Vietnam War, she became a role model for many wives, advocating for herself and her children in her husband's absence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold through both Smitty's and Louise’s voices, \u003cem\u003eTap Code \u003c\/em\u003eshares a riveting true story of ingenuity under pressure, strength and dignity in the face of the enemy, the love of family, and the hope, faith, and resolve necessary to endure even the darkest circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Christian","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49375798329648,"sku":"BDdhbr","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49375798362416,"sku":"ZEdhbr","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49375798395184,"sku":"ZMdhbr","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD [10]","offer_id":49375798427952,"sku":"10dhbr","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/dhbr-Square-cover.jpg?v=1782517158","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-dhbr","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
