| book description |

During the Second World War countless millions of men and women, both in the armed forces and civilian life, found themselves in life-or-death situations with the odds stacked against them. Inevitably in the vast majority of cases their experiences and the outcomes will never come to light but when they do, we can only feel inspired. In this thought-provoking book the author has unearthed numerous diverse accounts which make fascinating reading. It covers individuals fighting in jungles, deserts, on and below the seas, in mountains, valleys and plains, prison camps, in battles in the sky, or as fugitives hunted in enemy territory. In almost every corner of the world, in innumerable conditions of extreme adversity, our forbears confronted an unavoidable choice - escape, survive or die. This superb collection of stories shows us the resilience and stoicism that we need to face the ultimate challenge. The most powerful force of democratic countries, is the determination and self-sacrifice of ordinary individuals to endure and fight for their families, their country and freedom. Survivorsâ€™ personal accounts in **Escape, Survive - or Die** have the power to inspire and sustain us, in the never ending struggle for liberty just as the Ukrainians fighting the Russian invasion are doing so gallantly today.
