When 21-year-old sapper Ian Busst boarded the RMS Mauretania bound for Glasgow, it was the beginning of an extraordinary adventure that took him through fighting in the Western Desert and surviving horrific conditions in the prison camps of occupied Europe.

 

Captured during a daring night mission ahead of the German advance into Libya, Busst would become known as the 'Mad Bugger' to his comrades because of his scant regard for personal safety. He also became a great escape artist, breaking out of two POW camps and aiding others in their escape attempts.

 

Ian's story is one of breathtaking gallantry, resilience and friendship, but also of violence, hatred and cruelty. Tom Trumble delivers another pacy thriller, rich in detail and drama
