A Crowd Is Not Company by Robert Kee
The journalist and broadcaster Robert Kee was an RAF bomber pilot in the war, was shot down, captured and spent three years and three months in a German POW camp. After several false starts Kee successfully escaped. In compelling detail, he describes his desperate journey across Poland, a journey that meant running the gauntlet of Nazism. Written like a novel, and indeed published as such in 1947 to wide acclaim, this book is in fact an autobiography and 'arguably the best POW book ever written' The Times.
Robert Kee was born in 1919, has an Oxford degree and has been writing ever since he left the RAF, in which he was a bomber pilot, in 1946. He has worked for Picture Post, the Observer, and the Sunday Times, and has been a literary editor of the Spectator. He has taken part in current affairs programmes and documentaries for the BBC and ITV. Most recently he has written on Britain during the Second World War, 1939: The World We Left Behind and 1945: The World We Fought For; and Trial and Error about the Guildford Pub bombings.
