More about the book
Set during World War II, Colditz Castle served as a notorious prison for defiant Allied soldiers, who orchestrated legendary escape attempts. However, the narrative delves deeper, portraying a microcosm of society with its mix of heroes, traitors, class struggles, and alliances. Key figures like Pat Reid and lesser-known characters such as Indian doctor Birendranath Mazumdar and American paratrooper Florimond Duke illustrate the diverse experiences within the castle. As the war's tide turned, the prisoners faced escalating fears of a grim fate under Nazi rule.
