#1)”Rich,
Re your post, and I am in NO WAY comparing any or all of the below to the odious Charles Taylor, but it got me thinking. A few of these I knew, others I found:
Napoleon III escaped from prison to later become elected President of France. Napoleon obviously escaped Elbe to become Emperor again. Churchill escaped from Boer captivity Yitzhak Shamir escaped from a British detention facility twice
Saddam Hussein escaped from an Iraqi prison Eamon de Valera escaped from jail as well.”
#2)”You may have received other e-mails, but Eamon DeValera of Ireland was a prisoner of the British, was sprung from jail, and went on to become prime minister of Ireland.”
