This is a pioneering history of the experience of captivity of
British prisoners of war (POWs) in Europe during the Second World
War, focussing on how they coped and came to terms with wartime
imprisonment. Clare Makepeace reveals the ways in which POWs
psychologically responded to surrender, the camaraderie and
individualism that dominated life in the camps, and how, in their
imagination, they constantly breached the barbed wire perimeter to
be with their loved ones at home. Through the diaries, letters and
log books written by seventy-five POWs, along with psychiatric
research and reports, she explores the mental strains that tore
through POWs' minds and the challenges that they faced upon
homecoming. The book tells the story of wartime imprisonment
through the love, fears, fantasies, loneliness, frustration and
guilt that these men felt, shedding new light on what the
experience of captivity meant for these men both during the war and
after their liberation.
