"A grand adventure," this story of the Allied POWs who staged one of history's greatest escapes from prison camp is "narrative non-fiction at its finest" (
Booklist).
At the height of World War I, as battles raged in the trenches and in the air, another struggle for survival was being waged in the most notorious POW camp in all of Germany: Holzminden. A land-locked Alcatraz of sorts, it was home to the most troublesome Allied prisoners-and the most talented at escape.
The Grand Escape tells the remarkable tale of a band of pilots who pulled off an ingenious plan and made it out of enemy territory in the biggest breakout of WWI, inspiring their countrymen in the darkest hours of the war.
"Page-turning suspense and colorful detail.... " -
