YASterling Point Books series.
In this updated edition (originally Beyond the Dikes), DeMallie tells his war story: shot down in December 1944, he eluded capture and found temporary refuge with Dutch Resistance fighters until the Germans caught up with him, imprisoning him for the remainder of the war. The workmanlike writing is sometimes trite, but DeMallie tells it straight and with a well-judged amount of detail.
