Reviews

An utterly compelling account of how one POW kept his identity secret from the Nazis and evaded capture, relying on the bravery and kindness of strangers. A terrific read. One man's extraordinary odyssey of escape through wartime Italy: riveting and remarkable. Tom Carver's excellent book gives us a better understanding why our most well known World War II General was the complex man he was. An escape story in the finest English tradition. Beautifully written and poignant to the end - deserves to become an instant classic, * BBC Foreign Affairs Correspondent * This account of Monty's step-son's exploits in the Second World War is a gem. It reminds one of the gallantry and devotion to duty of a generation that has nearly left us.
