What is Great Escapes : a Collection of Escape Stories about?

To escape does not necessarily always mean running away from human enemies. You can escape from circumstances, from the sea, or from the Arctic ice. Or escaping can just mean staying on where you are, and surviving until circumstances change--like Admiral Byrd's long and courageous sojourn in the Antarctic. Escapes in wartime are probably the ones that immediately spring to mind, and a rich variety of such escapes are contained in this Winston Churchill's escape from the Boers, and the no less moving and exciting story of Gladys Aylward and her hundred Chinese children; or the incredible story of Odd Starheim, the man who stole a large passenger ship to escape the enemy.
