Book Description
In the folklore of World War II, the memory of those heroes who staged ‘great escapes’ from POW camps still endures. But what of the villains and jack-the-lads who painstakingly plan their escapes and await their moment at great personal risk? This book tells the stories of these ruthless and desperate bad boys and chancers.
