The Escape Artists

I'm curious about how Neal Bascomb chose this specific story amidst so many WWI events. What do you think drew him to these characters and their incredible feat?

The technical details added a lot of authenticity, but sometimes it slowed down the narrative. Did you find the balance worked for you?

Even knowing the outcome, I was on the edge of my seat. I'm wondering what storytelling techniques Bascomb used to keep the suspense alive.
