About This Item
W. W. Norton & Co.. Good in Good dust jacket. 1971. Hardcover. 0393074560 . Ex-Library; 18 oz.; 222 pages; Ex library HC in protected DJ library markings/aged good clean/tight condition. The life story of George, who survived the Georgia prison system in the '30's, went on to join the R.A.F. during World War II, and took German prison camps in his stride. A middleclass young gunman on a ""perfect crime"" lark, Harsh was sentenced to life on the chain gang. He remembers not only the appalling cruelties and hardships but the men who died and those who escaped and were shot down. A prison camp investigation in which he cooperated, led to his transfer to a well-run prison where his self-taught medical work saved the life of a prisoner and won his release. A gunner in the R.A.F. (he joined in Canada), he was captured by the Germans and participated in the famous Stalag tunneling by handling ""security."" Mr. Harsh is given to a sentimental-to-cheerful detachment from these happenings, but he prompts a mild awe at the dangers undergone. .
