Reviews

"The Real Escape to Victory" - Sports Journalists' Association

"Having read the book, I would certainly now like to see the movie. Paul Brown's detailed account of this remarkable enterprise is, I venture to suggest, the real-life Escape to Victory, and worthy of consideration by a filmmaker." - Anton Rippon, Derby Telegraph
