Pig Fat Soup is a testament to the inner strength of a Kansas boy, thrust into the sudden horrors of becoming a POW of an inhumane regime. Steven Woelk's compelling story is not only of the brutality of his captors and the bond that developed between his fellow shipmates, but of the challenges of the U.S. Navy, sending the USS Pueblo in harm's way before its mission in the Sea of Japan, off the coast of North Korea.
