Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Light creasing to dust jacket at top edge.

George Mann went 'over the wire' in 1942. His escape from an Italian POW camp. and the eighteen months he spent on the run and fighting with partisans, changed his life.

He returned from the war to England and resumed his former life. By 1856, growing dissatisfaction with life in post-war Britain led to his migration to Perth. In Perth, he successfully established his own business as a milk vendor.

Over the Wire is a very personal account of an ordinary man attempting to create a better life for himself. It is a book of insight, incident, humanity and courage.
