About the book >.>.> THE series of escape stories published since the war have shown that truth is not only stranger than fiction it is much more exciting. This contention is certainly borne out by the experiences of Anthony Deane-Drummond so simply and yet so convincingly told in this book. Deane-Drummond was one of the first parachutists to land in Italy on a raid in 1941 and was taken prisoner after his mission was completed. Twice he made ingenious and daring escapes; once from a prison and once from a military hospital. On each occasion he reached the heavily guarded Swiss frontier and on the second he managed to cross it. Thence he travelled through war-time France and back to England. He then promptly joined the First Airborne Division and was dropped with that immortal body of men on Arnhem. There he was taken prisoner once more and having spent 13 days and 13 nights without ever emerging from a constricted wall-cupboard in a German guard- room he escaped yet again. He recovered from this truly astonishing feat of endurance in the house of a courageous Dutch family and crossed back into the British lines. (LL)
