'Told with wonderful relish by Simon Pearson, who has undoubtedly produced the definitive biography of Bushell.'
'The Great Escaper is a compelling narrative, one which paints a convincing picture of a true war hero.'
'This gripping biography... Pearson has done uncommonly well in this, his first book, to unearth so much.'
'Pearson's biography of Roger Bushell is as gripping as it is informative and wonderful.'
This is a most readable and carefully researched book about a truly remarkable man and is a must for all readers of history of the Second World War.
Simon Pearson has at last done justice to [Roger Bushell's] memory in this enthralling book, an astounding story of honour and resilience.
What a read. Pearson's research is absolutely on the ball and the book is so descriptive I felt as if I were actually flying a Spitfire in 1940...The whole book was fascinating, I could not put it down. Rare you to read it - you will not fail to be moved.
