Yes, really.I just got back from Florida visiting a widow of an American hero who shared pictures of her husband Rudy's experiences as a POW. I find "Don's Great Escape" a duplication of Rudy's facts; flying out of England, his flight over the same city with the same circumstances, parachuting out and being captured, to the camps, moving by train, marching in winter, the tanks running over fences at the POW camp, his (humorous) encounter with Patton, and his trip, although different routes, back home.In fact, I immediately called Judy, his wife, and told her about my reading the book to make her aware of the so many duplication of facts in each of their lives.Nowadays, we have lost the significance of the bravery of those who have interupted their personal lives to fight for our freedom. You may disagree with our government's policy now, but a soldier should never be forgotten.
