Great Escape Stories

The American pilot who escaped by “breaking into” the Holy City…The French underground fighter who slipped out of unbreakable death cell…The 15-year-old girl who cracked the most impenetrable barrier in history…

The stories are the stuff of legend-yet, as told in this book by the people who lived them, every word is true. The most fantastic escape stories of our time are gathered together with notes and comment by World War II’s most celebrated escaper, Eric Williams, author of the best-selling, THE WOODEN HORSE.
