Escape from Hell by G.S. Willmott documents the history of POW escapes. Each chapter focuses on a particular character, conflict of prison camp, and follows the ingenious, determined, and often fruitless attempts made to leave enemy territory and get back to home ground. Some of these stories may be familiar, and others, not. All have one thing in common; the burning desire of the soldier not to be a victim.
Told with G.S. Willmott's trademark mix of history and dramatisation, Escape from Hell is up there with his best.
- Terry Amos
Detailing the accounts of escapes and of the few lucky escapees and some of the positive actions along with the unspeakable atrocities meted out in concentration death camps, Garry has managed to make what is essentially a gruelling and brutal subject highly readable. Robbie Burns Man's inhumanity to man, makes countless thousands mourn unfortunately sums it all up. Reading this has left a lasting impression. Historically accurate, factual and graphic this is a well researched and written book. Thank you Garry Willmott.
