Students, military historians, and casual readers will all find
this compelling collection useful in learning about escape
strategies, hostage situations, and rescue operations during times
of conflict. Great Wartime Escapes and Rescues tells the
captivating stories of dozens of escapes and rescues from conflicts
dating from the 16th century to present, with extensive coverage of
the world wars of the 20th century and the Vietnam War. In
addition, escapes and rescues related to terrorist activities and
regional conflicts are featured. Some stories of escapes and
rescues included in this work have been written about extensively
and portrayed in films, including The Great Escape and Captain
Phillips' rescue by Navy SEALs. Other stories are less widely known
but just as absorbing. The book opens with a detailed introductory
essay that illuminates the government policies and tactics various
countries have used to rescue soldiers and civilians during
wartime, as well as the diverse methods that prisoners of war have
used to escape notorious camps and prisons. The entries, organized
alphabetically, are augmented by engaging sidebars related to the
escapes and rescues. The book also includes references to such
sources as autobiographies, biographies, news accounts, and
interviews with veterans.
