It's a gripping great-escape yarn of the sort we don't see much anymore.

A true story few people will know, and it's told with a warm, crafty efficiency that makes for wonderful entertainment.

Richter gives a raw, frank but sophisticated account of the excruciating logistics of this great escape, and the appalling, inspiring blend of betrayal and courage that attended the group's herculean efforts.
