Levine takes a comprehensive approach, including evasion efforts by those fleeing before the enemy who never reached formal prisoner of war camps, as well as escapes from ghettoes and labor camps. Levine pays particular attention to dramatic escapes by small boat. Many are not widely known, although some were made over vast distances or in fantastically difficult conditions from enemy-occupied areas. Accounts include attempts at freedom from both German and Japanese prisoner of war camps, stories that reveal much about the conditions prisoners endured. Some of these escapes are far more amazing than the famed Great Escape from Stalag Luft III. German and Austrian prisoners also recount their amazing flights from India to Tibet and Burma. This study challenges some ideas about behavior in extreme situations and casts interesting light on human nature. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xPrisoners and prisons 606 $aEscapes$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xPrisoners and prisons. 615 0$aEscapes$xHistory 676 $a940.54/72 700 $aLevine$b Alan J$01797707 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957454003321 996 $aCaptivity, flight, and survival in World War II$94341434 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01183nam0 22002651i 450 001 UON00267364 005 20231205103740.434 100 $a20051004d1984 |0itac50 ba 101 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $a|||| ||||| 200 1 $aGrande dizionario della lingua italiana.
