Reviews

Endlessly fascinating. Cram’s story sizzles with adventure and the author plays it for all it is worth. I found myself rooting for his hero at every scrape and turn.
*Giles Milton, Sunday Times*

The story of Alastair Cram is a remarkable one, perhaps richer for having remained untold for so long . . . a book that ranks among the best escape literature
*The Times*

Fascinating
*Daily Express*

An enthralling portrait of true courage
*Sunday Express S Magazine*

An extraordinary story, vividly told.
*History Revealed*

Reads like a John Buchan novel.
*History of War*

[A] masterful account . . . Harrowing and deeply touching 21 Escapes pays homage to an inspiring figure and the determination of the human spirit.
*Scottish Field*
