The Tunnel

Sinopse

This book is a prequel to Eric Williams' The Wooden Horse. It describes his last mission, his being shot down, his capture, and his experience at his first prison camp, Oflag XXIB. Yes, there is a tunnel involved. And yes, like The Wooden Horse, The Tunnel is written as a novel. > 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 dreamed 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.
