Mass market paperback. Covers creased. Well read but useful reading copy. The foreword by Douglas Bader describes this as an unusual Prisoner of War story. It is not the story of a successful escape but the story of the author and a group who escaped from a POW camp in Eastern Germany, getting farther down the route to the Southeast and the Balkans. Recaptured time and time again but never reaching their goal in Turkey. They were eventually rescued from Romania by the US Army Air Force.

The New York Times wrote of this book "Henry Steele Commager's book is one of the most original and important works by America's greatest historian. It deserves a place on the bookshelves of war literature, not only of World War II but for the wars that came afterwards". Written immediately after the end of the war, and first published in 1945, this is comprehensive account of the 'people's war', written in the words of first hand combatants and non-combatants alike.

It was not only a catalyst of social change but sowed the seeds of a shift in private and public sexual attitudes. The author includes tables, personal accounts and documented sources in his study.
