This book traces Peter Howard, who was to become one of The Wooden Horse escapers, from his being shot down, through his capture, interrogation and first two POW camps. It gets into the mind of a man determined to escape his captors. It shows that for all the many schemes dreamt up, very few ever got started and of those only a tiny handful ever came to fruition - and of those a 'home run' was as rare as a lottery win. But none of this could suppress the determination, ingenuity and courage of those who were driven to try. This is a thrilling opportunity to read what is virtually 'lost' masterpiece of the Prisoner of War escaping genre.

The book arrived early and was in excellent condition (points for that!). However, I was disappointed to find that I had unknowingly bought the abridged ("edited") version "for younger readers". This had not been specified in the description of the book and I think it *should have been*: I am no longer a "younger reader" and would not have been fazed by what had been cut out (according to a friend, a few strong words and three or four passages which could have been read either as close friendship or as homoeroticism).
