Items related to A Crowd Is Not Company
Journalist and broadcaster Robert Kee was an RAF bomber pilot in the Second World War. When his plane was shot down over Nazi-occupied Holland, he was captured and spent three years and three months in a German POW camp.
From the beginning he was intent on escape. After several false starts, he finally made it.
First published in 1947 as a novel, but now revealed to be an autobiography, A Crowd Is Not Company recounts Kee's experiences as a prisoner of war and describes in compelling detail his desperate journey across Poland - a journey that meant running the gauntlet of Nazism.

Review:
Arguably the best POW book ever written (THE TIMES)
A wonderfully impartial, unjudging account of the way feelings and imagination are shrunk and benumbed in a cramped and crowded world (LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS)
Certain pages of this book, especially those about being questioned while on the run, still make my blood run cold . . . Dozens of accurate and perceptive images stop one in one's tracks (OBSERVER)
His depiction of frightened, desperate men grappling for hope is touching and thought-provokling (BIG ISSUE IN THE NORTH)
Robert Kee went on to have a distinguished career as a writer and in television, but this marvellous memoir may well be his finest acheivement. (OLDIE)
