Brought to you by Penguin. In a forbidding Gothic castle on a
hilltop in the heart of Nazi Germany, an unlikely band of British
officers spent the Second World War plotting daring escapes from
their Nazi captors. Or so the story of Colditz has gone,
unchallenged for 70 years. But that tale contains only part of the
truth. The astonishing inside story, revealed for the first time by
bestselling historian Ben Macintyre, is a tale of the indomitable
human spirit, but also one of class conflict, homosexuality,
espionage, insanity and farce. Through an astonishing range of
material, Macintyre reveals a remarkable cast of characters, wider
than previously seen and hitherto hidden from history, taking in
prisoners and captors who were living cheek-by-jowl in a thrilling
game of cat and mouse. From the Indian doctor whose hunger strike
and eventual escape reads like a thriller, to America's oldest
paratrooper and least successful secret agent, the
soldier-prisoners of Colditz were astonishingly imaginative in
their escape attempts; but there were many other ways to survive
while awaiting their unknown fate. Deeply researched and full of
incredible colour, this is the definitive book on one of the
greatest war stories ever told. (c) Ben MacIntyre 2022 (P) Penguin
