'Damien Lewis is both a meticulous historian and a born storyteller' Lee Child
FIVE DARING ESCAPES CARRIED OUT BY THE FAMOUS FIGHTING FORCE DURING WWII
This volume of Damien Lewis's bestselling Great Escapes series recounts gripping tales from deep behind enemy lines. Lewis has worked closely with our last surviving veterans of World War Two, plus the families of those portrayed, accessing wartime diaries, letters, mission reports, interrogation transcripts and more. He relates how these men, who were hunted relentlessly and personally targeted by Hitler, fought their way out of almost certain death. By their undying determination to rejoin the fight in freedom's cause, these fugitives and heroes epitomize the do-or-die spirit of the SAS.
