The Story is brought to an end - By: Gavin Worrell, 14 Feb 2008 
In Reid's 3rd & final book focusing exclusively on Oflag IVC, Colditz he adopts a different style of writing from his first 2, written some 25 years previously. In this book he discusses life at Colditz from the point of view of POWs from all the different nationalities that made up the camp inhabitants. The passing of time had allowed Reid to bringin to his stories more background information surrounding events outside the camp & the influence they had on matters inside. The lapse of time between his first two & his third also allowed Reid to draw on memoirs of former POWs subsequently separated by the Iron Wall which, by the time of writing, had begun to crumble. Although some may say the book may have lost some of the narrative description of the first two this is a different type of book with a different message. It is an important book for any Colditz enthusiast & well worth owning.
Colditz: The full story - By: BESKA, 06 Aug 2004 
There's nothing I can say about this book that is bad. It gives you the insight through the eyes of an officer held at colditzin the world war II years, it explainsin detail all the escape attempts, which grips you like a novel. I suggest this book to anyone with the slightest bit of interestin the war, conditz or any other POW camp.
What I do not suggest, is this book to people that aren't interestedin the war, the detailsin this book you may find 'un-needed'.
