Night of Glass — Philip Purser

1938: and as the Munich Crisis unfolds on the few flickering television screens then available to the richest houses in London, four Cambridge undergraduates fired with righteous indignation at the evil growing inside Nazi Germany decide to engineer the escape of a prisoner from Dachau concentration camp. What begins almost as a Rag Week stunt and is undertaken as a foolhardy dare, becomes a desperate and deadly adventure with a grim foretaste of the impending horror soon to engulf Europe.
