Item Description...

Overview
Describes the escape of hundreds of Allied airmen from German prisons through underground tunnels during the second World War, focusing on the logistics of their escape plan.

Publishers Description
A spine-tingling, suspenseful true story of escape during World War II.
Spring, 1943; Stalag Luft III, Germany: every prisoner in the Nazi camps had one thought in mind—to get out. The organization was in place, with men digging hidden passageways and squads dispersing yellow sand in the middle of soccer scrimmages. Forgers worked to create false travel documents. Tailors stitched up civilian suits from blankets. Their goal? To break out of an “escape-proof” German prison camp and raise havoc throughout the German countryside. The stakes were high, however: anyone caught would be executed.
Author Mike Meserole keeps the tension high in this newly-written tale filled with daring and danger. Kids will hang on to every word.

Really Exciting Non Fiction for Teens  Oct 17, 2008
This is a great nonfiction book for teens. The Great Escape is an exciting story and this book begins with excitement and it never stops. That so many could have escaped from the Nazis is a great thing. That 50 were shot, is a tragedy. What a wonderful story and a well written one. This is a great introduction of the adult world of nonfiction.
