Title: A very humbling read!
Product review: After reading many of the reviews I am inclined to go with my original feelings of empathy for the trekkers. In hindsight, it is a tad unbelievable that a prison commandant's wife would help these men escape, but as one reviewer noted, truth is indeed stranger than fiction. The desire for freedom is a force that cannot be underestimated unless you are faced with having it being taken away. I believe that if you are faced with this choice most people would rather die than have it taken away because by not attempting escape you are in essence dead already. I too, read this book more than 30 years ago and mentioned it to my son who not only sought it out but bought me a copy which I still read from time to time to keep things in perspective. It is a good read for anyone.
