As the Nazis deliberated about what to do with him, Richard Carver had particular reason to be afraid: unknown to anyone, he was the stepson of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, the Allied Commander who had just inflicted the first defeat on the Third Reich.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This gripping story tells of Richard's internment in a POW camp in northern Italy. Having decided to risk making his way back to Allied HQ in the south, he embarked on a grueling 500-mile journey through German-occupied territory, evading capture again and again and ultimately being saved by a family of brave Italians who jeopardized not just their own lives but those of an entire village to hide him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the winter of 1943, a year after he disappeared, he staggered back into Army HQ, to be greeted by his stepfather with the words, 'Where the hell have you been?'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is a great adventure story - a reminder of a lost age, and of a generation forced to rise to extraordinary feats of valor in the service of a cause greater than themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Riveting and remarkable” \u003cb\u003eBen Macintyre, author of \u003ci\u003eOperation Mincemeat\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “This account is a gem.
