Andrew Gerow Hodges Jr. and Denis George
In 1944, hundreds of Allied soldiers were trapped in POW camps in occupied France. The odds of their survival were long. The odds of escaping, even longer. But one man had the courage to fight the odds...
In the fall of 1944, Andy was tapped for what sounded like a suicide mission- a desperate attempt to aid the Allied POWs in occupied France-alone and unarmed, matching his wits against the Nazi war machine. But, despite the likelihood of failure, Andy did far more than deliver much-needed supplies. By the end of the year, he had negotiated the release of an unprecedented 149 prisoners-leaving no one behind. This is the true story of one man's selflessness, ingenuity, and victory in the face of impossible adversity.
