Summary: amusing account of small corner of WWII
Comment: Movies have been made about escapes from prison camps in every part of the world affected by world war two, except neutral ireland, and this book explains why. There really wasn't much point, as airmaen from both sides in the war were treated incredibly well, allowed watch several movies a week, go on unsupervised parole, and even play golf. One british pilot wrote home that his swing was really improving, and reprimanded for not trying to escape. One German did, and ended up in a british camp where he was treated a lot worse. This is afascinating, amusing story well told by one of the best historians of the period.
