A Sunday Times bestseller, the real story behind the mastermind of the most famous breakout in historyThe Great Escape.

While the most famous images from the 1963 film The Great Escape include either a motorcycle or a ballbut definitely Steve McQueenRichard Attenborough played the part of Big X, the British mastermind behind the greatest escape in history. Like the subject of the film, Big X was a real person. Roger Bushell was the mastermind of the mass breakout from Stalag Luft III in March 1944.

Very little was known about Bushell until 2011, when his family donated his private papers to the Imperial War Museum. Through exclusive access to this material, as well as new research from other sources, Simon Pearson has written the first biography of this iconic figure. Born in South Africa in 1910, Roger Bushell was the son of a British mining engineer. On May 23, 1940, his Spitfire was shot down during a dogfight over Boulogne after destroying two German fighters. Over the next four years he made three escapes, coming within one hundred yards of the Swiss border during his first attempt. His third (and last escape) destabilized the Nazi leadership and captured the imagination of the world, forever immortalized by Hollywood.

Simon Pearson's revealing biography is a vivid account of war and love, triumph and tragedyand one man's attempt to challenge remorseless tyranny in the face of impossible odds.
