About This Item
Toronto, ON: Dundurn, 2014. Soft cover. Near Fine. INSCRIPTION FROM TED BARRIS on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; small bump to bottom inside page edge; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; On the night of March 24, 1944, eighty airmen crawled through a 400-foot-long tunnel, code-named "Harry," and dashed from Stalag Luft III, the infamous WWII German POW camp. It became known as The Great Escape. The breakout took a year to plan, involved 2000 POWs, and prompted a massive manhunt across occupied Europe. All but three escapers were recaptured; on Hitler's orders fifty were murdered. Author Ted Barris has revisited the story, made famous by the Hollywood movie in 1963. But he has recounted this unique battle of wits and determination through the voices of those involved. He assembled original interviews, memoirs, letters, diaries and personal photos to reconstruction the untold story.
