N2  - During the Second World War many New Zealanders fell into enemy hands. Once they became prisoners, many plotted their escapes but few succeeded. E'scape!', edited by Matthew Wright, recounts our escapers' tales in their own words. These are the stories of everyday New Zealanders - farmers, professional soldiers, a politician and a lawyer among them - who took huge risks in the pursuit of freedom
