The White Rabbit is a 1952 non-fiction book by Scottish writer Bruce Marshall.
F. F. E. Yeo-Thomas was the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) agent, called by the Germans "The White Rabbit" of World War II.
Shortly after his arrival he was betrayed and captured by the Gestapo at the Passy metro station in Paris.
The Gestapo took him to their headquarters in the Avenue Foch, and he was subjected to brutal torture, including beatings, electrical shocks to the genitals, psychological gameplaying, sleep deprivation, and repeated submersion in ice-cold water—to the point that artificial respiration was sometimes required.
After he made two failed attempts to escape he was transferred first to Compiègne prison and then to Buchenwald concentration camp.
