description: As an example of man's will to survive against appalling odds, this book has very few equals.In 1940, Dutchman Guido Zembsch-Schreve joined his country's army-in-exile in Canada, returned to England, joined the SOE, was parachuted into France, where he ran a highly successful resistance network, dropped his guard for a moment and was arrested by the Germans. What happened to him thereafter is so horrifying that it is virtually impossible for ordinary mortals to understand how he survived. To come out of one concentration camp was improbable enough. To survive two, and a slave labour camp, seems incredible. Here, with modest humour and total lack of bitterness, he tells his story.
