"In the early morning of 5 August 1944, outside the little Australian township of Cowra, the greatest prison break in world history took place. More than 1100 Japanese prisoners of war took part, and 231 of them were killed; 334 of them actually escaped, and were captured over the ensuing nine days by posses of police, soldiers and local farmers. During the outbreak and the events which followed, four Australian soldiers were killed and another four were wounded. The whole bizarre episode was cloaked in secrecy at the time, and for many years afterwards." Minor browning to pages, light browning to edges of textblock, light edgewear to boards. Dust jacket has very light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds, small tear, archivally taped, at top of rear hinge, very light rubbing.
