<p><b>A genuinely new Second World War story, <i>The 21 Escapes of Lt Alastair Cram</i> by David M. Guss is the gripping narrative of an intrepid Scottish soldier's audacious defiance and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.<br><br>‘The greatest serial escaper of the Second World War’ – <i>The Times</i><br>'Endlessly fascinating.
Cram's story sizzles with adventure' – Giles Milton, <i>Sunday Times</i></b><br><br>In November 1941 Lt Alastair Cram was taken prisoner in North Africa as a devastating tank battle unfolded as Operation Crusader struggled to relieve Tobruk.
His capture began a four year-long odyssey as he passed through twelve different POW camps, three Gestapo prisons and one asylum. Determined to regain his freedom, he became a serial escapee fleeing his captors no fewer than twenty-one times.<br><br>In a saga of relentless determination, Cram, along the legendary founder of the SAS, David Stirling, masterminded the audacious 'Cistern Tunnel' escape from the Italian fortress Gavi - a thousand-year-old stronghold housing the most 'dangerous' escape risk prisoners.
It became one of the most audacious – but little-known – mass escape attempts of the entire war. Thrillingly told, this is a record of stamina and courage against unfathomable adversity.<br><br><b>'Fascinating' – <i>Daily Express</i><br><br>'An enthralling portrait of true courage' – <i>Sunday Express S Magazine</i></b></p>
