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
