One of the most incredible adventures of WWI: an Australian airman (Captain Thomas Walter White) captured in Iraq is force-marched across the Middle East to a POW camp in Turkey, only to escape to Russia as a stowaway on a Bolshevik smuggler's ship, where he arrives in the maelstrom of the Russian revolution. The authors capture wonderfully the adventure of White's flight and have written a fascinating account of one of Australia's forgotten war heroes.

Outspoken determination and generosity exemplified White's subsequent successful political and diplomatic career, too. Indeed, he would be fondly remembered by Sir Edward 'Weary' Dunlop as perhaps the best loved man of his generation
