Description

Book Synopsis
Robert Kee's vivid account of his years in a German prisoner-of-war camp - and his flight across Europe when he escaped. A classic survival story

Trade Review
Arguably the best POW book ever written * THE TIMES *
A wonderfully impartial, unjudging account of the way feelings and imagination are shrunk and benumbed in a cramped and crowded world * LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS *
Certain pages of this book, especially those about being questioned while on the run, still make my blood run cold . . . Dozens of accurate and perceptive images stop one in one's tracks * OBSERVER *
His depiction of frightened, desperate men grappling for hope is touching and thought-provokling * BIG ISSUE IN THE NORTH *
Robert Kee went on to have a distinguished career as a writer and in television, but this marvellous memoir may well be his finest acheivement. * OLDIE *
