“Men without Country” is the exciting story within a story of an American journalist who, while visiting free French fighting Germans at a hidden airfield in England, encounters an even more exciting tale.The Captain of the free French at the British airfield tells the journalist an off-the-record story of five convict Frenchmen who endeavor to escape from a prison in French Guyana, in order to fight on behalf of their French captors, against the Germans. Their rescue on the open ocean, which the Captain witnessed; a battle against those on shipboard who want to remain loyal subjects, regardless of whether that made them German or French, and the subsequent adventures, make for a quick and exciting read in this short story. Nice tight adventure tale.
