HB/DJ The sequel to Goodson's book, TUMULT IN THE CLOUDS, this book continues the story of the pilot's war. Shot down over Germany, he is condemned to death by the Gestapo but talks his way out of it and is sent to the famous Stalag Luft III. His account of the Long March of the prisoners to avoid them falling into the hands of the Allies towards the end of the war reveals some fascinating details of the disintegration that was by then beginning to affect the morale of the Germans, both civilian and military, and of how it had the opposite effect on others.
