So begins one of the great escape adventures of WW II.

As the enemy dragnet tightens, he fights off Nazi manhunters and their treacherous collaborators. But to win his freedom, he must take the ultimate dare: the dangerous escape route by canoe across the stormy, well-guarded River Waal. 231 pages.. First Edition. Mass Market Paperback.
