Description
From a Hard Place to a Rock is a gripping account of two British officers' escape from German captivity during World War II. In 1940, Captain Chris Waters and Captain Jimmy Johnson, both members of the British Expeditionary Force, were captured by the Germans while defending Dunkirk.
Their separate paths took them through France, across the Pyrenees, and back into Spain, where they eventually reunited in Barcelona. Through their journals and letters, the authors reveal the harrowing details of their experiences, including their recapture and eventual release from captivity.
This book is a testament to the resilience and determination of those who served during World War II, and offers a unique insight into one of the most pivotal moments of the conflict.
