With access to an astonishing range of material, MacIntyre reveals a remarkable cast of characters hitherto hidden from history, with captors and prisoners living for years cheek-by-jowl in a thrilling game of cat and mouse. Deeply researched and full of incredible human stories, this is the definitive book on Colditz.
