A Truly Outstanding Book,
By
This review is from: Saturday at M.I.9: History of Underground Escape Lines in N.W.Europe in 1940-45 (Hardcover)
This is probably the very best book I have ever read. Not only is it beautifully written but the craftsmanship of it is the best I have seen. It is compelling reading, difficult to put down, and all the more praiseworthy because it is fact, and not fiction. Specially recommended for female readers as women feature so prominently, and impressively. in it

First class,
This review is from: Saturday at M.I.9: The Classic Account of the WW2 Allied Escape Organisation (Paperback)
Written with first hand experience. I found this book a must read and could not put it down. The highs and the lows were written with so much feeling. His story had to be told and he did that very well indeed.

Amazing,
By B. Barrett - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Saturday at M.I.9: History of Underground Escape Lines in N.W.Europe in 1940-45 (Hardcover)
After his experiences at Dunkirk and in "They Have Their Exits" about his escape from Colditz, Airey Neave worked at MI9 in a small section dedicated to supporting escape lines run by resistance groups in Europe. The book chronicles the history of several escape lines to Britain (principally used by downed airmen), most of which ended in the arrest of the principles and many other people by the Gestapo, with torture and execution typically following, if not a sentence to a concentration camp. The resistance did this work at great risk as their sense of duty to the war effort, or their way to fight the Nazis. The escape lines were typically broken up by traitors in the employ of the Gestapo who posed as escaping Allied airmen. Neave documents the actions of the most hated traitors and what happened to them in the end.There is a bibliography of 10 sources, and this book has probably 10 more references to other books on the same subject in the footnotes (which look great!). Note: I think this book first appeared under the title "Escape Room" in 1969. My edition of "Saturday" is a paperback published in 1989. I bought Escape Room in hard back form. It has lots of pictures and some maps, whereas "Saturday" does not. However "Saturday" has a unique section called "Aftermath" which details the fate of traitors to the escape lines, most of whom were apprehended and executed. 1 of 9 people found the following review helpful:
