Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Dust Jacket. First Edition. 341 pages. Black and white glossy illustrations. "In the North Compound of Stalag Luft III, near Sagan, there was a secret association of escapers who did fantastic things. On the night of the 24th of March 1944, seventy-six of them broke out of a tunnel called 'Harry' that was 350 feet long and 30 feet deep - the longest prisoner of war tunnel ever dug. Most of them were caught and, you may remember, fifty were murdered by the Gestapo. We were writing this book in North Compound at that time and we give here also the first full account of that strange and dramatic affair." - Preface. The 1963 epic war film The Great Escape was based upon this book, albeit in a heavily fictionalised way.
