Description
Dramatic and exciting account of how twenty-five determined German U-Boat crewmen tunneled from American POW camp, crossed the unforgiving Arizona desert, and attempted to return battle. It was the only organized, large-scale domestic escape by foreign prisoners in U.S. history.
“With all of the emphasis on Allied POW escapes over the years, it is interesting to learn about the same from the German perspective.” - New York Journal of Books
“The Great Desert Escape is an extremely well-written account...If your measure of an interesting book (that also holds your attention) is that it makes you read more information on the various topics discussed within, then The Great Desert Escape is for you.”
-Military Review - The Professional Journal of the U.S. Army
