BRICKHILL Paul

The Great Escape. With Drawings by Ley Kenyon. IN FULL MOROCCO

Faber,, [1951]. 8vo., First Edition, with 16 plates on 8, 6 illustrations and plans (5 full-page) and full-page map in the text; handsomely bound in full dark green crushed morocco, sides with gilt frame border, back with raised bands, second and fourth compartments ruled and lettered in gilt, all other compartments tooled in gilt with 'barbed-wire' motif, gilt top, hand-made endpapers, ribbon marker, original backstrip mounted on new leaf at front, custom-made slip-case, a most attractive copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. The original account of arguably the greatest POW story of WWII - the escape of no fewer than seventy-six Allied POW's from Stalag Luft III at Sagan in March 1944. Known ever since as the 'Great Escape', it was a gallant endeavour with a sordid ending, and has inspired a minor industry of research and publication, including John Sturges' immensely successful (though heavily fictionalised) feature film of 1963 starring Steve McQueen and Richard Attenborough. For a more recent update (incorporating the latest official documentation) see Burgess's 'The Longest Tunnel' (1990). AN UNDISPUTED CLASSIC OF WWII AND SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION.
