The charm of Steyns personal account of his adventures lies in its understatement and its matter-of-fact simplicity. He does not portray himself as a hero, nor does he lay any claim to fame, but his account gathers intensity and force as the story progresses. Willie Steyn was intent on escape from the moment he was taken into captivity, and the reader experiences a corresponding intensity, encountering Willie as a free spirit throughout his captivity and his protracted journey home.
Deneys Reitz author of Commando and well known for his own bravery called Steyn one of our bravest men, and described Steyns escape as ''a deed that is in my opinion without equal in the history of escape.''
