This volume of Damien Lewis' bestselling Great Escapes series recounts gripping tales from deep behind enemy lines, revealing how the world's most famous fighting force, the SAS, executed some of the most daring getaways of World War Two. Lewis related death-defying escapes by foot, boat, tunnel, truck and train, in a series of edge-of-the-seat stories which take the breath away. 
 
Damien Lewis has worked closely with our last surviving veterans of World war Two, plus the families of those portrayed, accessing wartime diaries, letters, mission reports, interrogation transcripts and more. Lewis relates how these men, who were hunted relentlessly and personally targeted by Hitler, fought their way out of almost certain death. By their undying determination to rejoin the fight in freedom's cause, these fugitives and heroes epitomize the do-or-die spirit of the SAS.
