A Book of Escapes And Hurried Journeys

A Book of Escapes And Hurried Journeys

Description of the book

This work presents a collection of twelve famous escapes or hurried journeys from history, including Charles II's escape after the Battle of Worcester, Marie Antoinette's flight to Varennes, and Winston Churchill's adventures during the Boer War.
The stories show how little decisions, odds, and unexpected events can change the course of history and how the success of one plan may be hindered by the failure of another. In addition, it emphasizes how much a successful escape or journey often relies on an individual's courage.
