The mass breakout of seventy-six Allied airmen from the infamous Stalag Luft III became one of the greatest tales of WW2, immortalized in the film 'The Great Escape'.But where Hollywood's depiction fades to black,another incredible story begins . . . Not long after the escape,fifty of the recaptured airmen were taken to desolate killing fields throughout Germany and shot on the direct orders of Hitler.When the nature of these killings came to light, Churchill's government swore to pursue justice at any cost.A revolving team of military police,led by squadron leader Francis McKenna,was dispatched to Germany seventeen months after the killings to pick up a trail long gone cold. Amid the chaos of post-war Germany, divided between American,British,French and Russian occupiers,McKenna and his men brought twenty-one Gestapo killers to justice in a hunt that spanned three years and took them into the darkest realms of Nazi fanaticism. In 'Human Game',Simon Read tells this harrowing story as never before.Beginning inside Stalag Luft III and the Nazi High Command,through the gruelling three-year manhunt,and into the final close of the case more than two decades later,Read delivers a clear-eyed and meticulously researched account of this often-overlooked saga of hard-won justice.
