Review # 1 was written on 2018-09-17 00:00:00 Scott Black Written by one of the men who assisted in what is known as the Great Escape, Paul Brickhill's book on the experiences of WWII POWs is tense and at times exhilarating. The detail of the escapes from German prison camps is full of descriptive information that should satisfy the curious. His determination to ferret out the stories of escapees after they left the camps would do any journalist proud. In The Great Escape you feel as if you've received about as full of an account of this famous event as you'll likely ever receive.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-04-22 00:00:00 John Fremont The book was based on a true story of escaping prisoners of war from a German camp,during WW II.The film deviates somewhat from the book. Still,very good entertainment and a memorable ending.Star studded cast headed by Steve McQueen and James Garner,among others.
