Shot down over Berlin in 1941, Richard Pape's saga of captivity is a story of courage unmatched in the annals of escape. Four escapes took him across the breadth of German-occupied Europe; to Poland and Czechoslovakia; to Austria and Hungary. Aggressive and impetuous, his adventures sweep the reader along on a torrent of excitement.

Media Reviews
'A wonderful introduction to the Second World War' -- Max Hastings 20070916 'Deadly daring from a vanished era! reading this book is akin to taking an extraordinary journey down memory lane, one that leads into the heart of the bloody struggle of 1941, when Britain was at war with Nazi-occupied Europe and seemingly alone in the world!what sets the book apart is the wholly understated nature of heroism. It is a story replete with true grit, self-deprecating humour, camaraderie, ingenuity, loyalty to one's country and the triumph of sheer will' -- Express 20070921
