This fascinating book tells the forgotten story of four to five
thousand British civilians who were interned at the Ruhleben camp
near Berlin during the First World War and formed a unique
community in the heart of enemy territory. The civilians included
academics, musicians, businessmen, seamen and even tourists who had
been in Germany for only a few days when war broke out. This book
takes a fresh look at German internment policies within an
international context, using Ruhleben camp as a particular example
to illustrate broader themes includeing the background to the
German decision to intern 'enemy aliens'; Ruhleben as a 'community
at war'; the role of civilian internment in wartime diplomacy and
propaganda; and the place of Ruhleben in British memory of the war.
This study will be of interest to all scholars working on the First
World War, and to all those concerned with the broader impact of
modern conflicts on national identities and community formation. --
