Los prisioneros de Colditz : Supervivencia y fuga de la más inexpugnable fortaleza nazi

In an imposing Gothic castle perched atop a hill in the heart of Nazi Germany, a motley group of Allied officers spent World War II trying to escape their Nazi captors. For four years, these prisoners tested the walls of Colditz with ingenious escape attempts that would become legendary. But, as Macintyre reveals, the true story was even more extraordinary. The inmates formed a society in miniature—teeming with heroes and traitors, class conflicts and secret alliances, and the full spectrum of human joy and despair. Famous names from Colditz share the stage with lesser-known figures, ranging from elitist members of the Bullingdon Club to the American paratrooper known as his country's least successful secret agent. Combining the intrigue of the era with the sharp psychological portraits that characterize his acclaimed real-life spy stories, Macintyre breathes new life into one of the greatest war tales ever told. Meticulously researched, rich in incredible human stories, and written with Macintyre’s signature narrative mastery, this is the definitive book on Colditz Castle.
