A fine account, by the commander of one of the parachute brigades
at Arnhem during Worls War II, of how he was wounded and captured,
of how he escaped, and of how he lived for months with a Dutch
family beside a German military police post until he was smuggled
out across the Rhine by night. An unusually gripping story of
Anglo-Dutch friendship and endurance in peril. (Kirkus UK)
Badly wounded at the battle of Arnhem, and then spirited from his hospital bed by the Dutch Resistance, Brigadier John Hackett spent thewinter of 1944 in Nazi-occupied Holland, hidden by a Dutch family, at great risk to their own lives, in a house a stone's throw from a German military police billet. After four months in hiding, Hackett was at last well enough to strap a battered suitcase to an ancient bicycle and set out on a high adventure which would, he hoped, lead him to freedom.
