About this book
True stories of daring escapes come together in this collection of eleven real-life attempts that range from the heroic to the heartbreaking. The narrative follows figures like Henry "Box" Brown, who mailed himself to freedom, as well as the infamous Alcatraz breakout and the legendary World War II POW escape from Stalag Luft III. Each chapter details the planning, risk, and outcome of these bids for liberty, showing both successful escapes and those that fell short.
