Thirteen Days: The Chronicle Of An Escape From A German Prison (1918) is a memoir written by John Alan Lyde Caunter. The book recounts the author’s experience as a prisoner of war during World War I. Caunter was a British officer who was captured by the Germans and held in a prison camp. He describes the conditions of the camp and the treatment of prisoners by the German guards. The main focus of the book is Caunter’s daring escape from the prison camp. He and several other prisoners managed to tunnel their way out of the camp and make their way across enemy lines. The escape took thirteen days and was filled with danger and adventure. Caunter vividly describes the obstacles they faced and the strategies they used to avoid detection. Thirteen Days is a gripping account of one man’s struggle for freedom in the midst of war. It provides a unique perspective on the experience of prisoners of war during World War I and the lengths to which they would go to escape. The book is a testament to the courage and determination of those who fought in the war and the sacrifices they made for their countries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
