Title: Great Book for a Great Escape
Review: A couple of people offhandedly told me I ought to read this book. I eventually got around to buying it -- and could not put the thing down. When I finished it, it didn't take long before I started it again; and ordered another book on POWs in Germany. Since then I've read about every book on this subject I can get my hands on; Brickhill did /that/ good of a job.Admittedly, the men lack some characterization, but the story is so vibrant that can be passed over. (TryA Gallant Company: The True Story of the Man of "The Great Escape"for characters). Brickhill relays some of the other escapes that were pulled in the camp -- several unsuccessful and a couple "home runs". The story flows with the feel almost of fiction, it's so well-paced. You'll be drawn in by the story; it is at times funny, others tragic, but you won't let go. It's too Great.
