Human game

Book
In March 1943, 76 Allied officers tunnelled out of Stalag Luft III. Of the 73 captured, over 50 were shot by direct order of Hitler. This is the story of how a British Bobby from Blackpool, Frank McKenna, was sent to post-war Germany on the express orders from Churchill to bring the Gestapo murderers to justice. In a quest that ranges from the devastated, bombed out cities of Europe to the horrors of the concentration camps, McKenna is relentless in his pursuit.
