A gripping, illustrated chronicle of the most ingenious and daring prison escapes in history. You'll learn how they were planned; how criminals escaped from the planet's most secure prisons; the methods they used to circumvent security; and how police pursued the fugitives.

Discover the most mind-blowing details of each of these legendary escapes. The book's geography spans the globe—from the underground tunnels of Montevideo, Uruguay, to a homemade hot air balloon flight from East Germany. You'll learn how an escaped slave sent himself in a package to Philadelphia, a gangster outwitted guards in Indiana with a wooden pistol, and a yoga master in South Korea slipped through a food window. Each chapter is a true-life detective story, proving that human ingenuity knows no bounds.
