Unforgettable stories of audacity, brilliantly retold by the author of The Dam Busters. REVIEWS: "There is no end to the fascination of escape stories provided that they are authentic in every detail. You will find some of the best told by Paul Brickhill. I read them greedily - there is no other word; they stimulate the appetite for adventure in a way that no novel, no conventional thriller, can equal." - Daily Dispatch. "Extremely exciting." - Observer. "It is to Mr Brickhill's credit that only occasionally is the reader aware that he is not reading fiction." - Times Literary Supplement.
