Publisher's summary

During World War II Alan Caillou was on a British Intelligence deep penetration patrol in the Western Desert of Africa when he was captured by the Italians in February 1943. This is the story of his capture and subsequent escape after being sentenced for execution for being a spy; brilliantly told as to his experiences during that time. It can be considered not only as an escape book but as a prison book as well. For fans of such prison war films as The Great Escape, Stalag 17, and King Rat.

"Something very much out of the ordinary run."
- Times Literary Supplement

"This book is a record that arouses admiration, raises many a smile, and shows a fine sense of the dramatic." - Manchester Evening Post

"An Intelligent and unusual book, full of good reading." - Punch
