Publisher's Synopsis
The Bestselling Escape Memoir of the Second World War THEY HAVE THEIR EXITS stands in the premier division of military memoirs. Airey Neave recaptures the heroism and bravery of many men during the Second World War. His own courage was recognized through the DSO, OBE, MC and several other honours, and in this personal account of his life in the "trenches", he tells why. Wounded and captured at Calais in May 1940, he was a persistent escaper, eventually being sent to the "escape-proof" Colditz Castle in Germany. But he was soon to become the first British officer to make a "home-run" back to England. He then continued his war efforts by working in France with the French Resistance. His "adventures" continue, even after Germany's surrender, with his time in service with the Nuremburg War Crimes Tribunal.
