Bøger af William Ash

Heroes in the Evening Mist is the previously unpublished novel by the Texas-born author William Ash. His repeated attempts to escape German prisoner-of-war camps made him one of the models for the character played by Steve McQueen in the film The Great Escape. This, his final novel, evokes heroism, romance, comradeship - and ultimately betrayal.

They were years of extraordinary hardship, frustration and brutality - the penalty for escaping was a long spell in solitary - but throughout it all Bill Ash displayed not just remarkable courage but also an anarchic sense of humour, great humanity and an unstoppable desire for freedom.
