Review

A fascinating and highly suspenseful firsthand account of the famous Stalag Luft III escape, written by one of only three men from among 76 fugitive POWs who managed to evade the Nazi manhunt and gain their freedom.It's fantastic that Jens Müller's memoir is finally in English. A firsthand account by one of the very few successful Great Escapers makes this not only historically important, but also a thrilling read.The Great Escape from Stalag Luft III offers a fascinating look at the 1940s, recapturing the feel of both the war and postwar era.The Great Escape was far more than a Hollywood film; it was an aggressive campaign waged by Allied prisoners against the Nazi security forces in their own back yard--and Jens Müller was a key player. His memoir is a must read for anyone interested in this gripping episode of the Second World War.The Jens Müller memoir is a unique, unforgettable journey through twenty-four months of German captivity and an ingenious escape like no other I've ever read about. Each page brings you into the moment with intricate detail, contrasting the kindness of a few guards with the cruelty of many others in a great adventure reaping the most precious gift of all--freedom. This book should be very widely read. It is the story of a very modest but extraordinary man and it highlights the largely under-told story of how POWs of all allied nations were determined together to get back into the fight. It is a very readable and very human story told vividly. There are maps and drawings together with a photo-plate section. A must-read book that should also be a source of great Norwegian pride.
