Escape From Hitler's Reich

“Bowman’s prose is clean and unfussy, letting the airmen speak for themselves. Excerpts from diaries, letters, and official reports bring palpable emotion–moments of desperation jostle with flashes of hope, and the camaraderie that sustained these men leaps off the page. Together, these firsthand voices paint a vivid portrait of the ingenuity and human spirit that flourished behind barbwire.”– “Military History Online”

MARTIN W. BOWMAN is one of Britain’s best-known aviation historians and authors, with well over 100 published books. Specialising in Second World War history and post-war aviation, Martin’s interest in these subjects was driven by the prolific number of RAF and USAAF air bases that were established in his native East Anglia. His previous books have included works such as Legend of the Lancaster, Confounding the Reich, Duxford and the Big Wings, as well as numerous titles in the exhaustive Air War series, which, between them, provide extensive coverage of operations carried out on D-Day and during the Market Garden offensive at Arnhem.
