Description
The 21 Escapes of Lt Alastair Cram is a gripping account of one man's unwavering determination to survive against all odds. In November 1941, Lt Alastair Cram was taken prisoner in North Africa, marking the beginning of an extraordinary journey through ten different POW camps and three Gestapo prisons. Cram's story is one of remarkable courage and resilience, as he attempted to escape his captors a staggering twenty-one times, including a daring final attempt from a POW column in April 1945. One of the most audacious escape attempts was from Gavi, a maximum-security prison near Genoa, where Cram met David Stirling, the legendary founder of the SAS. This book tells the story of Cram's remarkable odyssey, a testament to his unyielding spirit and determination never to give up.
