Such humanity ...a proficient and sensitive account of the best and worst of human behaviour under unbearable pressure (The Telegraph)

Gripping, moving and thoughtful. The excellent team of Nichol and Rennell have done it again (Patrick Bishop, author of Fighter Boys)
Reseña del editor:

In Home Run: Escape From Nazi Europe John Nichol and Tony Rennell tell the incredible true stories of the British soldiers and airmen on the run through Nazi-occupied Europe - in their own words.

Throughout the Second World War, thousands found themselves cut off behind the lines in Nazi occupied Europe - soldiers were left stranded on beaches after the chaotic evacuation of Dunkirk, airmen flying operations against the Germans were blasted out of the sky by flak and fighters. They were alone and on the run in enemy territory with just one goal - to get back to Britain and to safety.

Some made solitary treks through hundreds of miles of enemy territory, others attempted precarious sea crossings in stolen boats. Many placed their lives in the hands of brave civilians who risked the wrath of a brutal regime if they dared to offer assistance. Life for the evaders hung in the balance and if they were to survive they had to rely on guile and sheer luck.

John Nichol and Tony Rennell tell the dramatic story of the heroes who made it home ... and those who did not.
