Drawing from wartime prison camps, enemy-occupied territories, and other desperate circumstances, this anthology gathers first-hand and documented narratives that place the reader alongside those who risked everything to reclaim their liberty.\n\nUrquhart, a distinguished Scottish writer and anthologist with a keen editorial eye, curates these accounts with a sharp sense of pacing and human drama, allowing each story to resonate as both a testament to individual bravery and a broader reflection on the unbreakable will to survive. The collection spans multiple theatres of conflict and confinement, illuminating the tactical brilliance, split-second decisions, and extraordinary luck that separated the free from the captured. For anyone drawn to the remarkable resilience of the human spirit under the most harrowing of conditions, this volume poses one irresistible question: what would *you* risk for freedom?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203230310619,"sku":"2026100009571-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/cc536594-2993-444e-9a1f-c26982f8b20c.png?v=1788146289","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009571-secondhand-great-true-escape-stories","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
