[Mark Hanson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was either going to be a 5* or 1* for me. Gladly it is a 5*. Two of my Grandads Lancaster crew were part of the 168 men sent to Buchenwald with Phil, therefore I have a close interest in Phil Lamason. What an amazing person, and this book superbly tells his story. It is not just about his time in Buchenwald, so if you are looking for a detailed account of life in Buchenwald for the 168 airmen, this is not your book. This is a book about the person and his life. It is very well written and reads very easily. Highly recommended.
