The journalist and presenter Robert Kee served as a bomber pilot in the RAF during World War II. When his plane was shot down over Nazi-occupied Holland, he was captured and spent three years and three months in a German prisoner-of-war camp. From the start, he intended to escape. After many failed attempts, he finally succeeded. "A Crowd Is Not Company," first published in 1947 as a novel, is now revealed as a memoir and recounts Kee's experiences as a prisoner of war. It vividly describes his desperate journey through Poland - a journey that meant he had to traverse the gauntlet of Nazism.
