About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Bantam Books, 1999. Mass Market Paperback. Fine. First Edition. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. 449 pages. 8 pages of photos. For a prisoner of war, the ultimate duty is to escape. Here are the amazing true stories of soldiers and civilians who risked their lives to fulfill that duty - often against incredible odds. Including great escapes spanning the centuries - from the American Revolution and the Civil War to the war in the Persian Gulf and the "undeclared" war in the jungles of Southeast Asia - A Prisoner's Duty provides a penetrating look at some of the most daring breakouts in American history. Here, too, are stories of settlers fleeing hostile Indians, runaway slaves on the Underground Railroad, reporters and government officials evading terrorists captivity - all of whom committed their lives to a single, overwhelming goal: freedom at any cost! More than just an exciting collection of great escapes, A Prisoner's Duty provides remarkable insights into escape psychology and the type of person willing to risk life itself for a chance at freedom. 3/4" light crease on bottom of front cover, otherwise as new..
