A rare signed 1984 first edition hardback of 'Colditz: The full story' written by Major Pat Reid, one of the few British officers to successfully escape from the infamous Colditz Castle, Oflag IVc, making his daring 'home run' to neutral Switzerland. The book retains its original protective sleeve, preserving its exceptional condition and historical significance.

What makes this copy particularly special is its collection of signatures from sixteen distinguished former POWs, including Mike Moran, Kenneth Lockwood, John Wilkins, Mickey Wynn, Pat Fergusson, Ted Beets, Dominic Bruce, Michael Burn, Pat Reid, Ivo Tonder, Jedrez Giertych, Tommy Elliott, John Higgard, Toby Broomhall, Bill Anderson, and Skelly Ginn.

Reid’s detailed narrative of Colditz, combined with the multiple signatures, offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the Colditz story from one of its most famous escapees. ISBN-10: 0333342690
