The Spirit of Escape

I read this book when I was in fifth grade - - in 1969 - - and it left an indelible impression on me. I haven't seen Who Goes Next? since '69 but the one story that has remained in my mind was the story of Sir Ernest Shackleton's rescue at the South Pole. Travelling with two others in inhuman cold, starving, dead-tired, the men insist they'd seen a fourth man. Could this be the "spirit of escape?" the author conjectures. I have never forgotten this, what's more, Shackleton read books like Who Goes Next? when he was young and they were formative for him.

True stories of daring escapes

I read this book when I was in the 6th grade and it was by far the most popular book among my peers at the time. The book tells the true stories of daring escapes from prisons and prison camps throughout history. Truth is stranger (and more interesting) than fiction.
