On 20 July 1944 Stauffenberg placed a briefcase bomb in Hitler’s briefing hut at the Wolf’s Lair, flew back to Berlin, and then directed an insurrection against the Nazi regime. The plotters wrested control of Paris, Vienna, and briefly, Berlin. When it became clear that Hitler had survived the conspiracy unravelled.

In A Child Escapes author Francis Deng chronicles his dangerous and frightening journey after being removed from his family, at gunpoint, at the age of nine.

Too many young boys suffered extraordinary deprivation as forced child-soldiers during the civil war that raged across the South Sudan. This is a story of physical and mental suffering that, for Francis, was compounded by the tragic loss of his mother and younger siblings.

Many boys died. Miraculously, Francis survived. His harrowing story as one of the ‘Lost Boys’, redemption through the opportunities Australia offered, contributions to his adopted country, and support for those within this community facing transition and cultural challenges, is important and gripping.

A Child Escapes is a chronicle of redemption and persistence told by a courageous young man. An ebook edition is available to readers in some 50 regions to purchase through Apple Books. A softback edition is available as part of talks and book signings by the author.
