Hardcover. Book Club Edition. 245, [1] p. Illustrations. Bibliography. Index. "In the tradition of the great escape adventure classics, this is a thrilling account of the miracle that took place behind German lines in Holland during the weeks following one of the worst disasters of World War II-the Battle of Arnhem, September 17…-26, 1944. Out of an Allied force of 10, 000, only 2, 000 returned across the Rhine; 8, 000 were killed, wounded, or taken prisoner. While in an area occupied by several divisions of German combat troops, 250 men were hidden by the Dutch. Singly and in groups, assisted by the Resistance, these men made some of the most remarkable individual and mass escapes of World War II, a saga of human ingenuity and courage. Leo Heaps, who was one of the evaders, interweaves the stories of the men who escaped and the brave Dutch people who helped them. It is a book of great distinction, high adventure, and excitement-the true story of what happened beyond "a bridge too far." Information from the Internet: "During the Second World War, Heaps was seconded to the British Army and found himself commanding the 1st Battalion's Transport, even though he was not officially a member of the 1st Airborne Division and had never before made a parachute jump.'I had been in my quaint, thatch-roofed cottage on the marshes for a week before Lieutenant Colonel David Dobie arrived. But before I met Dobie I met Major Airey Neave of IS9, Major Hugh Fraser of the SAS and Captain Maurice MacMillan, a communications officer from Phantom. They seemed to work together. On my first introduction to Neave at Nijmegen the night after I returned, he asked whether I would care to work for IS9 in Holland. The idea appealed to me. Also, I had nothing else to do. On my way back to London I caught my first glimpse of the headquarters of the rescue organisation and its charming, one-armed Lieutenant Colonel, Jimmy Langley, dining in his luxurious apartment in Brussels. Champagne and oysters were being consumed in quantity by the chief for breakfast when I dropped in shortly before noon. Langley, between oysters, agreed I could serve a useful purpose in bringing back airborne survivors and establishing escape routes over the rivers of northern Holland. I did not know much about IS9 but I was certainly willing to learn. The languorous, affluent life-style impressed me. I would not be fighting the grubby, filthy, tedious war of the masses but the elite, sophisticated war of the few who ate with clean cutlery. I did not anticipate there would be objections to working for IS9 from my commander. There was not really very much of a battalion to go back to. Two officers out of forty and ten men from eight hundred were all that remained. ' 'At Airborne Headquarters in Moor Park I paid my respects to the elegant Lieutenant Colonel Ian Collins and reported on the state of the Belgian SAS Captain Kirschen. Evidently Kirschen had fled his chicken coop but his daily messages failed to come in on time. Collins told me that the General expected to see me at the War Office and a car waited outside to take me to Urquhart. At the war office the General greeted me with his usual warmth. He seemed genuinely glad to have me back. However, he did explain that he never expected to me again alive. Reports had circulated several times that I had been killed. When we met the last time at Hartenstein he thought I would never reappear. I assured the General that the reports of my death were highly exaggerated. However, I was the first evader to come back. I told Urquhart that I might be only one of many who would follow. When I asked permission to return to Holland the General gave me his consent, but I never thought I would see Dobie again or that we would be working together to bring back our comrades. There would be other occasions when I would report to the General in England on my progress, but he always seemed too polite to ask the one question which constantly perplexed him.

The Most Remarkable Mass Escape of World War II. In September 1944, 10,000 Allied paratroopers parachuted into Holland behind German lines, triggering the devastating battle of Arnhem. Only 2,000 returned across the Rhine--8,000 were killed, wounded, or taken prisoner. Trapped in enemy territory, 250 of the toughest, most determined Allied paratroopers--the Evaders--managed to survive for months with the help of the Dutch resistance and their own remarkable ingenuity and courage. This World War II adventure story offers a thrilling first-person account of the escape of Allied soldiers from behind enemy lines following the disastrous Battle of Arnhem in September 1944. Of 10,000 Allied troops, there were 8,000 casualties. However, some 250 men were hidden by the Dutch resistance: singly and in groups, theirs were some of the most remarkable escapes of the war. The author, a Canadian paratrooper taken prisoner during the battle, jumped from a moving train on its way to Germany, and subsequently organized the successful rescue of other survivors; for his part in one of the most incredible mass escapes ever recorded, he earned the Military Cross. The stories of the escapees are interweaved with those of the brave Dutch resistance who helped them. It is a moving portrayal of heroism and compassion. Leo Heaps was born in Winnipeg Canada in 1922, and lived his life in California, England and finally in Toronto. His early years were in the shadow of his father, a famous Parliamentarian, followed by his service in the British 1st Airborne during WW2, where he was awarded the Military Cross. His post-war exploits took him to the war of Independence in Israel, where he trained members of the Israeli army, and finally to the Hungarian revolution where he he worked with the International Rescue Committee. In civilian life, he had an unbridled passion for adventure and writing. His various exploits produced life-long relationships with a fascinating array of colleagues from all walks of life, many of them becoming the basis for characters in some of his published works. Derived from a Kirkus review: Readers may know that 10,000 Allied troops landed in Holland in September 1944 on the greatest airborne invasion ever undertaken and fought the disastrous Battle of Arnhem--and that 8,000 of them were killed, wounded, or captured. The Evaders is an almost wholly first-person account of 250 men who found themselves surrounded by German troops and assisted by the Dutch Resistance. Heaps covers this ground, while focusing on a multiplicity of first person views and his personal dilemma as a paratrooper in enemy territory. Much of his material comes from private diaries, letters, and interviews with about 40 commandos, paratroopers, and Resistance leaders whose audacious paths crossed his during that fateful week in the woods, fields, and houses around Arnhem. Some of these men died, but the survivors of this enclave within the war made some remarkable, often moving escapes with Dutch help. Heaps tells us at the beginning; and there is really no substitute for having been there--and suffered. Peter Caras (cover art) (illustratore).
