The Escape Of A Princess Pat; Being The Full Account Of The Capture And Fifteen Months' Imprisonment Of Corporal Edwards, Of The Princess Patricia'S C

By Edward Edwards and George Pearson

A gripping true war story told with brisk clarity and quiet courage. The Escape of a Princess Pat recasts a remarkable escape as a testament to endurance, ingenuity, and the human longing for home. Edward Edwards's account moves from capture and confinement in Germany to a perilous, daring flight into Holland. It is a precise, human-scale military memoir that blends stark realism with intimate moments of resolve, offering both a vivid prisoner of war narrative and a window into the European theatre of the early twentieth century. The book's form-an eyewitness-led memoir of captivity and flight-yields themes that resonate with both casual readers and serious military history enthusiasts, and it lends itself to classroom discussion as a resource for exploring ethics, resilience, and strategy under duress. Historically and culturally significant, the volume stands as a rare survivor from the First World War setting, enriching any true war stories collection. For today's readers, it is more than a reprint: a restored, tangible link to the past that honours the vanished era and its people. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is both a compelling narrative and a cultural treasure. A companion wartime memoir in its own right, this book sits alongside other prisoner of war narratives-essential reading for military history readers and collectors seeking a vivid, human ear to history.
