Synopsis

This book makes for a fascinating read, consisting of the stories of five prisoners of war from World War II. Together with an explanation of why some soldiers and airmen became prisoners of war, the book describes everyday life in the prison camps around the world (poor food, roll calls, manual labor, entertainment) and explains how some prisoners made daring escapes, whilst others had no choice but to wait for liberation from the Allied forces. It provides an intriguing look at the way of life experienced by real people in wartime Britain. It is complete with color and previously unpublished black and white photographs, a glossary and an index.
