The Confidence Men: How Two Prisoners of War Engineered the Most Remarkable Escape in History | Margalit Fox

Found my copy, @Caroline2!!! It was not where I thought I'd left it. Double stacking books can be a curse sometimes. 🙄🙄🙄 It's in a prime position now.

We could make it a part of #NonFictionNovember.

Ms. Fox artfully combines a fascinating story with relevant historical and scientific background. If I didn‘t know that these 2 British POWs really did con their way out of a Turkish prison with the unwitting but wholehearted help of the warden and his staff. Some episodes had me laughing out loud! Think Mel Brooks meets The Sting. A wonderfully entertaining read.
