POW camp life at Papago Park was casual to say the least and Lloyd make sure to explain in detail the lazy approach to managing the POW's as well as the privileges POW's at Papago Park received that were unnecessarily beyond the norm. Lloyd walks the reader through the geography of the camp and how an escape route was established using the desert landscape and the layout of the camp buildings. Lloyd constantly toes the line on whether the escape happened because of ineptitude of camp management or ingenuity of the German POWs. In the end, while acknowledging the intelligence of the German soldiers, I believe Lloyd puts more blame on management of the camp, which I think Lloyd finds disappointing.
Fascinating look at an event few people today know about, THE GREAT DESERT ESCAPE enlightens and educates the reader in a very entertaining way. The book was a joy to read.
Thank you to Rowman & Littlefield/Lyons Press, Keith Warren Lloyd, and Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!… (altro)
