THE LAST ESCAPE by John Nichol &
Tony Rennell
Viking, Hardcover, 520 pages
By June 1944 there were hundreds
of thousands of American and British prisoners of war in camps across
Nazi-controlled Europe. News of the D-Day landings, heard on secret camp radios,
filled the prisoners with both hope and dread. Amid this confusion and fear, the
POWs were herded from their camps and forced at gunpoint to walk many hundreds
of miles deeper into Germany on what the POWs themselves called the Death March.
In The Last Escape, Gulf War POW and author John Nichol and popular historian
Tony Rennell relate the astonishing story of these unrecognized heroes. Drawing
upon interviews with many surviving veterans who speak here for the first time,
this is an unparalleled account of endurance and courage in wartime.

A Soldier's Six-Year Journey Through WWII
No Time for Dreams follows the author through France and Belgium and a desperate
escape to Dunkirk in a bullet-riddled ambulance. After recovering from his war

perilous sea voyage in the largest convoy ever to leave the UK, being dogged by
the infamous Bismarck and the German U-boats that prowled the high seas. His
destination: North Africa, with its searing heat, scorpions and barren wastes,
and the see-saw war in the Western Desert. His journey continued with the
invasion and swift conquest of Sicily, then the long trek up the Italian boot.

Operation Sea Lion
Peter Fleming |Pan Books
With the fall off France, Hitler's attention turned toward Britain. The
invasion and conquest of these islands was essential. Only with Western
Europe totally in Nazi hands could the push eastward to Russia go ahead.
Thus, Operation Sea Lion. This lively study, based both on German and
British sources, examines the military and strategic blunders which led to
the postponements of the assault.
