George Mann’s *Over the Wire* recounts his extraordinary life, from a working-class upbringing in London to his wartime experiences and subsequent emigration to Australia. Mann's early life was marked by poverty and social injustice. He joined the army, fought in North Africa, was captured and imprisoned in Italy.
The narrative focuses on his daring escape from an Italian prisoner-of-war camp in 1942 and the eighteen months he spent on the run, aided by brave Italian farming families and partisan groups. This period transformed him, instilling a new-found resolve. Post-war, Mann became involved in trade union activism, but disillusioned with life in Britain, he sought a fresh start in Western Australia. There, he built a successful business. This is a story of resilience, courage, and one man's determination to forge a better life.
