Within Four Walls
Penguin 1st Edition, published 1940.
Written in the 1920s by two British army officers who escaped from German prisoner of war camps during the First World War, this is an account of their experiences seeking to escape captivity. Everything you would expect is here - tunnels, costumes, disguises, forged papers, hidden compasses and much more - what Germany was like under the Kaiser, daily life in a prison camp under the strict German regime, and how the officers used their time to make life difficult for the Germans at every opportunity.
Condition grading: Good Minus. Wear to cover edges and wear to faded spine. Some foxing to rear cover. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
