Prisoners of the Castle: An Epic Story of Survival and Escape from Colditz, the Nazis' Fortress Prison
Ben Macintyre
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From the bestselling author of The Spy and the Traitor, a definitive and surprising new narrative of one of history's most famous prisons—and the remarkable cast of POWs who tried to relentlessly escape their Nazi captors.
