The definitive history – as told by the men who took part. Forget Steve McQueen – this is what really happened, together with the Nazi manhunt and murders which followed.

I’ve just finished reading your account of the event and have a question for you. Why doesn’t Robert Kee feature on your list of Great Escapers? I earlier read his A Crowd is Not Company (an odd and sometimes unsatisfying book in a number of ways) and his name features in other books based on Stalag-Luft III.
Robert Kee is a great oversight. Apologies.
Incidentally, I really ought to have said that I enjoyed your The Great Escape.
