Escape and Evasion: POW Breakouts in World War Two (Cassell Military Classics)

How does a captured soldier make a great escape? During World War Two, many tried to break out...but few actually succeeded. Here is the planning and execution of 18 incredible flights to freedom — some never written about before. These exciting true stories read like fiction, showing in detail how resistance fighters on the outside organized escape routes and safe houses. The group of intrepid characters comes not only from the Allied powers, but also from Germany and Japan.
