Books, Manuscripts
Still a schoolboy when World War II broke out, Tommy MacPherson quickly matured into a legendary commando. Twice captured, he escaped both times, marching through hundreds of miles of German-held territory to get home. This is the astonishing story of how an ordinary boy came to achieve extraordinary feats when war came calling.
