About the author
Eric Williams
30 books10 followersEric Williams, MC was a former Second World War RAF pilot and prisoner of war who wrote several books dealing with his escapes from prisoner-of-war camps.
At the end of the war, on the long sea voyage home, Williams wrote Goon In The Block, a short book based on his experiences. Four years later, in 1949, he rewrote it as a much longer third-person narrative under the title The Wooden Horse. He included many details omitted in his previous book, but changed his name to 'Peter Howard'.

Very interesting insight into the workings of the Cummunist-era security personnel and others living behind the Iron Curtain. A thoughtful text which doubles as a thriller at the same time, written by a competent writer from what seems like first-hand experience.
