Prisoners of the Castle: An Epic Story of Survival and Escape from Colditz, the Nazis' Fortress Prison by Ben Macintyre
4.0
Without the globetrotting glitz and glamour of his usual stories, Ben MacIntyre's delve into Colditz sometimes gets a little stale.
What carries it through are the incredible stories of defiance, endurance and innovation, as well as moments of tenderness that transcend class, nation or ideology.
From the 1944 section onwards, this book chronicles the fall of the Third Reich from a truly unique perspective and is impossible to put down.
