A rediscovered mountaineering classic & the extraordinary true story of a daring escape up Mount Kenya by three prisoners of war When the clouds covering Mount Kenya part one morning to reveal its towering peaks for the first time prisoner of war Felice Benuzzi is transfixed The tedium of camp life is broken by the beginnings of a sudden idea
- an outrageous dangerous brilliant idea There are not many people who would break out of a POW camp trek for days across perilous terrain before climbing the north face of Mount Kenya with improvised equipment meagre rations & with a picture of the mountain on a tin of beef among their more accurate guides There are probably fewer still who would break back in to the camp on their return But this is the remarkable story of three such men No Picnic on Mount Kenya is a powerful testament to the human spirit of revolt & adventure in even the darkest of places" The history of mountaineering can hardly present a parallel to this mad but thrilling escapade"
- Saturday Review"A most extraordinary prisoner-of-war & escape story"
- New Yorker"A mad venture & a gallant tribute to man's deep yearning for freedom"
- Kirkus Reviews" The book crackles with the same dry humour as its title It contains the prison-yard bartering & candlelight stitching that mark a classic jailbreak yarn; the encounters with wild beasts in Mount Kenya's forest belt are as gripping & the descriptions of sparkling glaciers as awe-inspiring as any passage in the great exploration diaries of the early 20th century"
