Back Cover
Shortly after The Great Escape of seventy six Allied airmen from the infamous Stalag Luft III, fifty of the recaptured men were shot on the direct orders of Hitler. It was a chilling and brutal act, in defiance of both international law and the Geneva Convention. A British Bobby from Blackpool, Frank McKenna, was sent to post-war Germany on express orders from Churchill to bring the Gestapo murderers to justice. In a quest that ranges from the devastated, bombed-out cities of Europe to the horrors of the concentration camps, McKenna and his team were relentless in their pursuit. The manhunt spanned more than three years and McKenna's search would lead the men into the darkest realms of Nazi fanaticism. Human Game is the gripping story of the ultimate quest: to hunt down the Great Escape Murderers.
