High in the Tuscan hills above Florence, an elaborate medieval castle, converted to a POW camp on Mussolini’s personal orders, holds one of the most illustrious groups of prisoners in the history of warfare.

Against insuperable odds, a dozen extraordinary middle-aged British and Commonwealth senior officers plan a series of daring escape attempts, culminating in a complex tunnel deep beneath the castle.

Their unbelievable escape, told by Mark Felton, is a little-known marvel of World War II.
