A rediscovered mountaineering classic and the extraordinary true story of a daring escape up Mount Kenya by three prisoners of war.When the clouds covering Mount Kenya part one morning to reveal its towering peaks for the first time, prisoner of war Felice Benuzzi is transfixed. The tedium of camp life is broken by the beginnings of a sudden idea - an outrageous, dangerous, brilliant idea.There are not many people who would break out of a P.O.W. camp, trek for days across perilous terrain before climbing the north face of Mount Kenya with improvised equipment, meagre rations, and with a picture of the mountain on a tin of beef among their more accurate guides. There are probably fewer still who would break back in to the camp on their return.But this is the remarkable story of three such men. No Picnic on Mount Kenya is a powerful testament to the human spirit of revolt and adventure in even the darkest of places."The history of mountaineering can hardly present a parallel to this mad but thrilling escapade" - Saturday Review"A most extraordinary prisoner-of-war and escape story" - New Yorker"A mad venture and a gallant tribute to man's deep yearning for freedom" - Kirkus Reviews"The book crackles with the same dry humour as its title. It contains the prison-yard bartering and candlelight stitching that mark a classic jailbreak yarn; the encounters with wild beasts in Mount Kenya's forest belt are as gripping, and the descriptions of sparkling glaciers as awe-inspiring, as any passage in the great exploration diaries of the early 20th century" - The Economist

This is a great story and a very good book. While it is billed as a daring escape followed by a harrowing climb, I saw it as something else. The story begins with the author languishing in a barren POW camp in a foreign country with virtually no chance of escaping and making it out of the enemy country in order to return home Italy. The challenge of POW camp was to fight boredom, pettiness, and malnourishment. The author, apparently a rock climber in his civilian days although this was never mentioned outright, responded to this situation by realizing he needed a goal, something to live for and a way to rise above the monotony. So he gave himself an inspiring and also absurdly difficult challenge—one that would have been difficult even for well-trained, well-equipped, and expert climbers.While the actual breaking out of the camp was relatively easy, the fact that they pretty much accomplished, or even dared to attempt, the bigger goal was captivating.The descriptions of Mount Kenya and what they saw and the challenges (risks of: capture, starvation, exhaustion attack by various animals, the technical aspects of the climb, etc) were good and very interesting. Reading the author’s words is sort of akin to sitting in the presence of a hero—maybe or maybe not he is a very great story teller—but just being in the presence of someone who did what he did makes the reading experience worthwhile.
