During World War II, captured service personnel of all the
belligerent powers found themselves incarcerated as prisoners of
war. Although the number of POWs ran into the millions,
comparatively little has been written about them. This timely
collection examines individual prisoners' experiences, but also
provides an overview and synthesis of some of the most heated
debates in the field.
Casting new light on the racial and ideological assumptions of
captors, authors show how axis powers and the Japanese dealt with
Black African and African American troops who were taken prisoner.
Political considerations are shown to have proven weightier than,
in many cases, heinous crimes against humanity. Also highlighted is
the history of Italian POWs in allied hands, the treatment of axis
prisoners in Britain and the complex story of Free and Vichy French
servicemen fighting each other in Africa.
This important book will be essential and compulsive reading for
students and scholars of the Second World War and will signpost
areas worthy of further inquiry for many years to come.
