Author Description

Journalist and broadcaster Robert Kee served as an RAF bomber pilot in World War II. His plane was shot down over Nazi-occupied Holland, and he subsequently spent more than three years in a German POW camp--trying to escape right from the start. He finally succeeded.... This is his story, first published as fiction in 1947 and now revealed as a true biography. "Arguably the best POW book ever written."--The Times. "Certain pages...especially those about being questioned while on the run, still make my blood run cold."--Observer.
