Description

This book tells the stories of heroic Canadian soldiers who escaped from behind enemy lines during the wars of the 20th century. Learn about the Wooden Horse escape and the tragic Great Escape of World War 2. The book includes hair-raising accounts of Canadian soldiers who managed to break to freedom from prisoner trains and eastern front work camps and those who made their way back to Allied territory from behind enemy lines.
