Notes:  "First published in Australia in 2021 as Escape From Manus by Viking, part of the Penguin Random House group of companies."--T. p. verso. Summary:  "In 2013 Jaivet Ealom fled Myanmar's brutal regime, where Rohingya like him were being persecuted and killed, and boarded a boat of asylum seekers bound for Australia. Instead of finding refuge, he was transported to Australia's infamous Manus Regional Processing Centre. Blistering hot days spent in shipping containers on the island melted into weeks, then years... until, finally, facing either jail in Papua New Guinea or being returned to almost certain death in Myanmar, he took matters into his own hands. Drawing inspiration from the hit show 'Prison break,' Jaivet meticulously planned his escape. He made it out alive but was stateless, with no ID or passport. While the nightmare of Manus was behind him, his true escape to freedom had only just begun. How Jaivet made it to sanctuary in Canada in a six-month-long odyssey by foot, boat, car, and plane, with nothing but his instinct for survival, is miraculous. As he makes his way through seven countries and three continents, his story will astonish, anger, and inspire you. It will make you reassess what it means to give refuge and redefine what can be achieved by one man determined to beat the odds."--Back cover. Genre:  Memoirs.
