The full story of SOE may never be told. Some activities were never recorded, most surviving records were classified for many years, tons of paper were destroyed at the end of WWII and German records were equally fragmented, not least because archives were destroyed by bombing. The story is the memoir of the subject, carefully edited by his daughter, to make a unique and very moving account of the survival of ‘special’ prisoners. – Most Highly Recommended
This memoir is most welcome, casting fresh light on the lives of POWs. The title is very appropriate to the story but for many POWs escaping was always a sport that upset the captors and relieved the monotony of camp life. – Most Highly Recommended
