This book is 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 labour, entertainment) and explains how some prisoners made daring escapes, whilst others had no choice but to wait for liberation from the Allied forces. This book presents an intriguing look at the way of life experienced by real people in wartime Britain. This book is presented in colour and contains previously unpublished black and white photographs, a glossary and index.
