[A] masterful account . . . Harrowing and deeply touching 21 Escapes pays homage to an inspiring figure and the determination of the human spirit. * Scottish Field * Reads like a John Buchan novel. * History of War * An extraordinary story, vividly told. * History Revealed * An enthralling portrait of true courage * Sunday Express S Magazine * Fascinating -- Dominic Midgley * Daily Express * The story of Alastair Cram is a remarkable one, perhaps richer for having remained untold for so long . . . a book that ranks among the best escape literature * The Times * Endlessly fascinating. Cram's story sizzles with adventure and the author plays it for all it is worth. I found myself rooting for his hero at every scrape and turn. * Giles Milton, Sunday Times *
Reseña del editor
'Endlessly fascinating. Cram's story sizzles with adventure.' Giles Milton, Sunday Times A genuinely new Second World War story, The 21 Escapes of Lt Alastair Cram is a riveting account of the wartime exploits of Alastair Cram, brilliantly told by the American author, David Guss. Cram was taken prisoner in North Africa in November 1941, which began a long odyssey through twelve different POW camps, three Gestapo prisons and one asylum. He became a serial escapee - fleeing his captors no fewer than twenty-one times, including his final, and finally successful, escape from a POW column in April 1945. Perhaps the most dramatic of his attempts was from Gavi, the `Italian Colditz'. Gavi was a maximum-security prison near Genoa for the pericolosi, the `most dangerous' inmates because of their perpetual hunger to escape. It was here that Alastair met David Stirling, the legendary founder of the SAS, and cooked up the plan for what would become the `Cistern Tunnel' escape, one of the most audacious but hitherto little-known mass escape attempts of the entire war. A story of courage in the face of extraordinary odds, it is a testament to one man's dogged determination never to give up.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A genuinely new Second World War story, The 21 Escapes of Lt Alastair Cram by David M. Guss is the gripping narrative of an intrepid Scottish soldier's audacious defiance and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. The greatest serial escaper of the Second World War The Times 'Endlessly fascinating. Cram's story sizzles with adventure' Giles Milton, Sunday Times In November 1941 Lt Alastair Cram was taken prisoner in North Africa as a devastating tank battle unfolded as Operation Crusader struggled to relieve Tobruk. His capture began a four year-long odyssey as he passed through twelve different POW camps, three Gestapo prisons and one asylum. Determined to regain his freedom, he became a serial escapee fleeing his captors no fewer than twenty-one times. In a saga of relentless determination, Cram, along the legendary founder of the SAS, David Stirling, masterminded the audacious 'Cistern Tunnel' escape from the Italian fortress Gavi - a thousand-year-old stronghold housing the most 'dangerous' escape risk prisoners. It became one of the most audacious but little-known mass escape attempts of the entire war. Thrillingly told, this is a record of stamina and courage against unfathomable adversity. 'Fascinating' Daily Express 'An enthralling portrait of true courage' Sunday Express S Magazine. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
