Description
Felice Benuzzi's remarkable story is one of rebellion and adventure, set against the backdrop of life in a POW camp during World War II. When the clouds part to reveal the towering peaks of Mount Kenya, he finds inspiration for an audacious escape plan.
With improvised equipment, meager rations, and a makeshift guide, Benuzzi and two fellow prisoners embark on a perilous trek across treacherous terrain, culminating in a daring ascent of the north face of Mount Kenya. This powerful testament to the human spirit is reissued with Benuzzi's own watercolor paintings and a previously unpublished final chapter.
This deluxe edition offers a unique glimpse into one of the most remarkable stories of World War II, featuring stunning artwork and a gripping narrative that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
