Damien Lewis: SAS Great Escapes Four, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This new volume of Damien Lewis' bestselling series recounts how soldiers of the world's most famous fighting force, the SAS, carried out some of the most daring escapes of World War Two. Ranging from the infamous desert campaign of 1944 to the unforgiving terrain of the Vosges Mountains, these inspirational narratives include the tale of three Captains escaping an Italian Prisoner of War Camp in 1943; a perilous escape across Europe aided by the Resistance networks of Holland, Belgium; and a death-defying return to Britain via boat, tunnel and train.

Damien Lewis has worked closely with World War Two veterans and the families of those portrayed, accessing wartime diaries, letters, mission reports, interrogation transcripts and more, to relate how the hunted men of the SAS were forced to fight their way out of certain death or capture.

With every step, breath and turn taken, these fugitives epitomized the do-or-die spirit of the SAS.
