Evader: The Classic True Story of Escape and Evasion Behind Enemy Lines

EAN/UPC/ISBN Code 9780859790963


Evader is one of the most remarkable stories ever to come out of WWII. On September 5th, 1943, Denys Teare baled out of his burning Lancaster bomber over Occupied France; from this moment on Teare was an evader in the midst of the enemy. Continually thwarted in his escape attempts, he was a doubly wanted man: not only a British airman evading the occupying force, but also an active member of the French Resistance. This book tells what it was really like living in France under the Nazis, of the danger and horror before the Liberation - and of what liberation really meant when it came. This new hardback edition includes much new material which originally came under censorship, and is illustrated throughout with photographs from the author"s own collection.
