Reviews

“Hundreds of Allied evaders achieved freedom thanks to the selfless dedication, courage, and sacrifice—often at mortal cost—of those who put together and managed all that was needed. This is the basis for Jean-Luc Cartron’s impeccably researched book. It deserves to take its place among the finest historical accounts of that tragic time.”—Evelyn Le Chene, author of Silent Heroes: The Bravery and Devotion of Animals in War
