Description

In July 1941, after five weeks behind the barbed wire of a prisoner-of-war compound in fallen Crete, Jim McDevitt spotted a chance for freedom. Without pausing to reflect on the dangers, the bold young kiwi took his chance, and so began a 22-month game of cat-and-mouse wuth the island's conquerors. This is Jim's story - a story of hardship, of survival, of friendship and of courage; set against the backdrop of one of the world's most ruggedly beautiful islands.
