Network to Freedom plunges the reader back to the dark and harrowing days of 1943. In this theater of hell where the captive population of France lives in silent revolt against the ruthless Nazi domination, the story recounts the daring escape of General Reginald Miles and James Hargest, who, captured by Rommel at the disastrous battle of Tobruk, flee imprisonment in Italy to reach the haven of Switzerland. They are determined to rejoin England and continue the fight, but they still have to cross France which is occupied by hundreds of thousands of German troops and seething with scores of Gestapo agents and their surrogates. They enlist the help of Allied Intelligence, led by Allen Dulles, Chief of American Intelligence in Europe, who arranges the next leg of their evasion. To lead this mission, George Brantès, a young French medical student in Toulouse, is selected.
