   Von Ryan spearheads an escape from Italian prisoner of war camp in WWII by commandeering German train and navigating through Italy to Switzerland. Plenty of tense moments lead to ultimate success. I thought detailed account of escape dragged on as did first third of book which dealt with conditions in prison camp.
