"A 1000 British & American POWs learn to hate the American colonel who singlehandedly shapes them up. His strict discipline brings order to the camp; it also earns him a derisive 'von.' When Italy surrenders, German guards herd the men into boxcars for shipment to the Reich. Ryan has other ideas. He reckons to take the train to Switzerland & freedom.
A taut, exciting and well-keyed war novel. Ryan is a difficult hero to like, but a hero nonetheless. An exciting, authentic book."
