75th anniversary of The Great Escape

The night of March 24-25 brings the 75th anniversary of the 1944 tunnel breakout from Stalag Luft 3 in Silesia, now part of Poland. Last year, after reading THE HERO MAKER, my biography of Paul Brickhill, author of THE GREAT ESCAPE, the bestselling 1950 book that told the world all about the break and gave it its name, a Polish publisher contacted me to say that Brickhill's book has never been pub Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Stephen Dando-Collins (?)

“Despite their inglorious end, the legions remain to this day, thousands of years after their creation, the most pre-eminent example of how detailed organization, tight discipline, and inspiring leadership can take a group of individuals and turn them into a winning team.”
― Stephen Dando-Collins, Legions of Rome: The definitive history of every Roman legion

“Germanicus was also confident of the morale of his legionaries. In the days leading up to the battle, a German had ridden to the Roman camp ramparts in the night and called out that Arminius would reward every Roman who changed sides, with a German wife, a plot of land, and 100 sesterces a day while the war lasted. Germanicus had heard one of his men yell back, ‘Let daylight come, let battle be given! Then we’ll take your land, and carry off your wives!’ [Ibid., 13]”

“Al incorporarse a la legión, el legionario quedaba exento de pagar impuestos y dejaba de estar sometido a la ley civil. Una vez entraba a formar parte del ejército, su vida estaba gobernada por la ley militar, que, en muchos aspectos, era más severa que el código”
― Stephen Dando-Collins, Legiones de Roma: La historia definitiva de todas las legiones imepriales romanas.
