CHURCHILL'S GREAT ESCAPES

The bestselling military historian thrillingly tells the stories of seven dramatic World War Two escapes executed by members of the British Special Air Service (SAS). No food, water and out of ammo. Hunted and on the run with the dreaded certainty of discovery looming between recapture and safe haven. Would you give up? From the earliest years of the War to its explosive closing stages, readers are plunged into the dark heart of Mussolini's Fascist Italy, held captive in a heavily fortified POW camp in Greece, and in the coastal fortress of Tobruk in Occupied Libya. Whether scaling the treacherous war-torn Vosges Mountains in France, or crossing 150 miles of sun-blasted Sahara Desert crawling with General Erwin Rommel's fearsome Afrika Korps, it took cunning, incredible courage and die-hard fearlessness to pull off these exhilarating escapes. 'Those men would go on to form the core of the SAS Nazi-hunting unit that would track down some of the most elusive war criminals.' Based on debriefings on letters, Lewis recounts the most terrifying and adrenalin-fuelled days and nights and the uncommon bravery of these heroes. 332pp, eight pages of photos.
