Where The Hell Have You Been?
In November 1942 two nights after the Battle of El Alamein a young British army officer was captured. As the Nazis deliberated about what to do with him Richard Carver had particular reason to be afraid: unknown to anyone he was the stepson of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery the Allied Commander who had just inflicted the first serious defeat on the Third Reich...This gripping story tells of Richard's internment in a POW camp in northern Italy - the same camp made famous by Eric Newby - and of his subsequent escape. Having decided to risk making his way back to Allied HQ in the south he embarked on a gruelling 500-mile journey through German-occupied territory evading capture again and again and ultimately being saved by a family of brave Italian peasants who jeopardised not just their
own lives but those of an entire village to hide him. In the winter of 1943 a year after he disappeared he staggered back into Army HQ to be greeted by his now famous stepfather with the words 'Where the hell have you been?' This is a great adventure story - a reminder of a lost age when in the face of terrifying challenges a generation rose to extraordinary feats of valour in the service of a cause greater than themselves.
