Behind Enemy Lines

A different person for each chapter, ten chapters telling the stories of captured NZ soldiers in Crete, Greece and Yugoslavia, behind enemy lines.They are often the most modest of men, these brave and dedicated men, who continue their fight against the enemy after their escape from captivity. So many stories, with a lot of similarity, but generally acting as individuals.A good collection of tales, some penned by the soldiers them selves, others pieced together from letters or memoirs, some by other authors telling their tales.Sadly we are reaching the time when these men, young in 1941-44 are reaching the end of their lifespans, so very nice to have their history recorded in this way.Very similar to [b:Free Lodgings; The True Story of a Kiwi Soldier's Amazing Bid for Freedom 4304218 Free Lodgings; The True Story of a Kiwi Solidier's Amazing Bid for Freedom Peter Winter https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1401775633s/4304218.jpg 4351823], by Peter Winter, a book which tells one story, which picks up on a lot of other peoples stories on the way.
