"A tense, thrilling, fabulous tale."—Philadelphia InquirerThey were American and British air force officers in a German prison camp. With only their bare hands and the crudest of homemade tools, they sank shafts, forged passports, faked weapons, and tailored German uniforms and civilian clothes. They developed a fantastic security system to protect themselves from German surveillance. It was a split-second operation as delicate and as deadly as a time bomb. It demanded the concentrated devotion and vigilance of more than six hundred men—every one of them, every minute, every hour, every day and night for more than a year. Made into the classic movie starring Steve McQueen. 16 pages of photographs 00000___4fe81a88f3c62191e0b6dff97a4a6b4e......Page 1 00001___cd1ac0501358455882eb1b4e8c0292c5......Page 2

so intoxicating in Paul Brickhill's 1950 novel The Great Escape that it is easy to forget what a frightening, life-and-death struggle its characters have undertaken. They are British and American prisoners of war in a Nazi stalag (or POW camp), determined to burrow their way to escape and make the dangerous dash for freedom across occupied Europe. Through the 1963 film adaptation, starring Steve McQueen, the story has become well-known. Brickhill's novel reflects more of the actual process of planning and executing the escape, the painstaking detail and the incredible will behind a remarkable act of heroism. Led by a fearless Englishman named Roger Bushell, the inmates of Stalag Luft III, both British and American, come together to plan a mass escape from their Nazi captors. Their task is formidable, to dig their way out of the camp in a network of tunnels while creating themselves the papers, clothing and simulated weapons they will need to escape through occupied territory. The men face a bewildering number of reversals of fortune, starting over each time a little wiser about what it takes to outfox the Germans. They must not only evade the German officers who run the camp but also the "ferrets," who are constantly on guard for any suspicious activity. The whole wildly improbable mission requires the most sensitive coordination and complete trust in an enemy prison camp in the middle of a worldwide war -- any escape, it seems under these circumstances, would be a "great" escape. Australian-born Paul Brickhill was himself a prisoner of war of the Germans, and he participated in just such a mass escape from a German stalag. Using fiction to heighten the drama, he creates in The Great Escape a gallery of memorable characters and carefully charts -- literally, at certain points, with drawings and maps -- their ingenuity, their success and failures, and their courageous hope. "One of the great true stories of the war, and one of the greatest escape narratives of all time," the San Francisco Chronicle wrote of The Great Escape. The Dallas Times-Herald noted that the novel "puts the average war book so far in the shadow it's not even funny." "A tense, thrilling, fabulous tale." Philadelphia Inquirer They were American and British air force officers in a German prison camp. With only their bare hands and the crudest of homemade tools, they sank shafts, forged passports, faked weapons, and tailored German uniforms and civilian clothes. They developed a fantastic security system to protect themselves from German surveillance. It was a split-second operation as delicate and as deadly as a time bomb. It demanded the concentrated devotion and vigilance of more than six hundred menevery one of them, every minute, every hour, every day and night for more than a year. Made into the classic 1963 war film of the same name starring Steve McQueen, James Garner, and Richard Attenborough. 16 pages of photographs The famous story of mass escape from a WWII German PoW camp that inspired the classic filmOne of the most famous true stories from the last war, The Great Escape tells how more than six hundred men in a German prisoner-of-war camp worked together to achieve an extraordinary break-out. Every night for a year they dug tunnels. Those who weren't digging forged passports, drew maps, faked weapons or tailored German uniforms and civilian clothes to wear once they had escaped. All of this was conducted under the very noses of their prison guards. When the right night came, the actual escape itself was timed to the split second - but of course, not everything went according to plan.
