'Beguiling' The Times 'Compelling' Wall Street Journal 'A vivid
portrait' Daily Mail Buried in the history of our most famous jail,
a unique story of captivity, violence and race. British redcoats
torch the White House and six thousand American sailors languish in
the world's largest prisoner-of-war camp, Dartmoor. A myriad of
races and backgrounds, with some prisoners as young as thirteen.
Known as the 'hated cage', Dartmoor wasn't a place you'd expect to
be full of life and invention. Yet prisoners taught each other
foreign languages and science, put on plays and staged boxing
matches. In daring efforts to escape they lived every prison-break
cliche - how to hide the tunnel entrances, what to do with the
earth... Drawing on meticulous research, The Hated Cage documents
the extraordinary communities these men built within the prison -
and the terrible massacre that destroyed these worlds. 'This is
history as it ought to be - gripping, dynamic, vividly written'
Marcus Rediker
