No Picnic on Mount Kenya Felice Benuzzi author 9780857053770 Books
Very interesting tale of adventure and derring-do about three Italian POW’s interned in Kenya during WW2 who break out of their camp to climb Mr Kenya, after spending months accumulating and making the kit, clothing and food they will need. A bit tedious in its style of writing (probably because it’s translated from Italian?) but an amazing tale nevertheless.Product details

No Picnic on Mount Kenya Felice Benuzzi author 9780857053770 Books Reviews
Great
Great African adventure.
A beautiful story of hope and resilience. As a Kenyan, I have given it one star short because of the discomfort every African feels when you are told how someone discovered something your ancestors knew about all along. There are also inaccuracies on tribal names and forklore but all in all a great story!
It was amazing to me that these three pow's broke out of camp to climb a mountain. Achieving what they did must have helped them last for the remaining years of their imprisonment. The author's humor was impressive. I read this at the same time I was reading "Unbroken". Even though the treatment by the British was not brutal as it was by the Japanese, the Italians were still imprisoned for years, and it affected them too.
Amazing story! Interesting recollection of memories of 3 Italian prisoners of wars who escape from an English run POW camp in Kenya just for climbing Mt Kenya with no equipment or adequate gear. A nice story to read.
Classic old adventure book. Good present for manly men. Follows a group of Italian WW2 War Prisoners who are interred in East Africa. They are bored but not unhappy about not fighting. They cook up a scheme to relieve the boredom.
Good adventure, good history, good insight into how people are affected by their surroundings/conditions. I would never have believed, before I read this book, that reading a description of the contents of a backpack would be something I found fascinating, but it fit so essentially into the story,that I read it avidly. I think I liked least that it had an end I was so taken into the story that I wanted to continue being a part of the life of the men involved.
Very interesting tale of adventure and derring-do about three Italian POW’s interned in Kenya during WW2 who break out of their camp to climb Mr Kenya, after spending months accumulating and making the kit, clothing and food they will need. A bit tedious in its style of writing (probably because it’s translated from Italian?) but an amazing tale nevertheless.
