The story of three POW's escape to adventure. This is a 2016 paperback reprint.
One of mountaineering's true classic tales. In 1942, three Italian prisoners-of-war are interned in a camp at the base of Mount Kenya. Entranced by the challenge of the mountain, they break out of the camp, climb the mountain with improvised equipment and almost no information, descend, and then break back in to the camp to continue their stay.
Paperback, 318 pages, illustrated throughout with b&w photos and diagrams, and an insert of color illustrations in the middle.
